Polako
Ljuba Alicic · Other Songs - Ljuba Alicic
nisam sluga, ali tebi sluzicu
krenuo sam, al' zbog tebe ostacu
samo tebi srce svoje pruzicu
Ref. 2x
Polako, polako, ali sigurno
srce tvoje popustice, vec je umorno
ja u sebe siguran, u ljubavi uporan
osvajam te, osvajam
Nisam lopov, tvoje srce ukrascu
ni zavodnik, ali tebe zavescu
nemam nista, ali s tobom imacu
tudje necu, ali tebe uzecu
Ref. 2x
