Ja volim

Ja volim
kad mi tvoje ruke telo kradu
i volim kad mi tvoje oci
pruze nadu

Ja volim sto bez mene
ne mozes ni trena
i volim sto sam tvoja
i sto druge nema

Ja volim kad mi tvoje usne
lice greju
i volim kad se tvoje oci
meni smeju

Ja volim sto bez mene
ne mozes ni sata
i volim sto me cuvas
ko da sam od zlata

Ja volim kad me tvoje misli
svuda prate
i volim kad se tvoje ruke
meni vrate

Ja volim sto bez mene
ne mozes nimalo
i volim sto ti je do mene
tako stalo
