kako me miluju nezno u noci
nisi cekala nikog dosada
ne znas kako boli kad neko nece doci
Ref.
Korake cujem al' prazna je soba
proklinjem zivot ovo ludo doba
proklinjem zivot sto mi te dade
proklinjem dah jer mi te ukrade
Nisi tesila srce svoje
saptala dusi lakse ce biti
nisi molila vreme da stane
ne znas kako boli kad tugu moras kriti
Ref.
