To mogu samo ja

Znam da neces biti sama
znam da ces se brzo snaci
al' u meni ima nesto
sto u drugom neces naci

Da te nezno ljubi da ti mrsi kosu
to on mozda bolje zna
ali da te voli kao cvece rosu
to mogu samo ja

Znam da neces ko ja
sada zbog rastanka suze liti
al' ces za mnom ja verujem
jednog dana zazaliti

Da te nezno mazi da ti pesme pise
to on mozda bolje zna
ali da te voli i od sebe vise
to mogu samo ja
