Ja znam da ti me ne volis
Maja Nikolic · Other Songs - Maja Nikolic
a svoju dusu sam ti dala
iskreno, bila sam tvoja sva
Zar i na kraju hrabrost imas
u oci lazi da mi pricas
da volis me, al' dalje ne mozes
Cak i prica pateticna, prazna
nije ti izostala
k'o da nije mi dovoljna kazna
sto sam sama ostala
Ref.
Ja znam da ti me ne volis
znam sta mislis pre nego izgovoris
sad reci sve su suvisne
jer te pogled odaje
Ja znam da ti me ne volis
ne moras biti prorok da pogodis
jasno je da sada sanjas druge sne
kraj nje
Okreni se, odnesi sve
sto pre
Ref.
Ja znam da ti me ne volis
