Hocu ljubav, necu prijateljstvo

Ljuba Alicic · Other Songs - Ljuba Alicic

Svi spavaju a ja budan sanjam
jednu zenu koju tajno volim
sve bih dao sto u srcu imam
da je nocas pred ocima mojim

Ref. 2x
Hocu ljubav, necu prijateljstvo
nekom drugom ti prijatelj budi
zar su vazne godine za ljubav
ako neko iskreno te ljubi

Znam da i ti usamljeno zivis
da te boli ljubav izgubljena
zasto krijes kad znam da me volis
priznaj draga da si zaljubljena

Ref. 2x

Nemoj samo nikad da mi kazes
kasno smo se u zivotu sreli
i da ljubav srecnima pripada
a mi da smo samo prijatelji

Ref. 2x
