Ja nisam pesma

a ja te reci brzo zaboravim
ti zelis, vinom srce da ugrijes
a, ja bih htela na-damnom da bdijes
Ref.
Ja nisam pesma, ne pevaj me
ja nisam casa, ne lomi me
ja nisam oko, ne budi me
zena sam, samo poljubi me
zena sam poljubime
Isla sam tebi jer sam te volela
srcem sam rekla
sve sto sam zelela
zbog vrucih veci
ako mi zatreba
nesta k'o zvezda
kad ode san i raj
Ref.
Meni si uvek ti u prvom planu
nego li sunce jos si mome danu
necu da znam za crne uvojke plave
dok si kraj mene
nek' se zaborave
Ref.
