Kad odes i nestanes
Ljuba Alicic · Other Songs - Ljuba Alicic
ostavljas mene nije mi lako
i mislis da ces sretnija biti
videces gresis to nije tako
Ref. 2x
Kad odes i nestanes
kad volis pa prestanes
bice tesko to, o
bice tesko to
Stojim i gledam kako si lepa
usne su neme, tisina vlada
i stalno mislim sta li ce biti
sta te to muci reci mi sada
Ref. 2x
Zarobljen bolom, otrovan tugom
nista ne mogu ti zelis tako
ja tebe veruj jos uvek volim
zato i cutim nije mi lako
Ref. 2x
