jer ja zivim da bih tebe volio
kazu da sam lud, a ja kazem da
ludujem za tvojim usnama
Ref.
Hajde dodji, samo se pojavi
jer bez tebe i sunce se gasi
nema meni zivota bez tebe
il' me spasi il' mrtvim proglasi
Samo kazi sta sve za tebe smijem
kraj ljubavi nase ja ne priznajem
kazu da sam lud, a ja kazem da
ludujem za tvojim usnama
Ref. 2x
