Ne smem da se zaljubim u tebe (duet Sasa Matic)

Jelena Karleusa · Other Songs - Jelena Karleusa

Ne izlazi vuk, iz sume u lov
ako opasnost primeti
al' prevari se, pa pobedi strah
kad miris krvi oseti

Slabosti uzak je put
tu nema mesta za sve
ne pazis i nema te

Ref.
Kad si sa mnom verujem u suprotno
ne smem da se zaljubim u tebe
kad vec stradam neka bude pametno
sve sto radim, radim protiv sebe

Prvi put kad predjes
sve u redu je
drugi put si glup ili budala
ja sam bas takvog cekala

Ne prolazi bol, od sebe sam
a novim se bolom ne leci
ne uzima Bog, ni dobrog ni zlog
vec onog ko kasno ukoci

Secanja klizav je put
tu nema mesta za sve
ne gledas i nema te

Ref. 2x
