Povredi me

Nikola Rokvic · Other Songs - Nikola Rokvic

Za tobom ostaje u srcu pustinja
mene si lagala, a druge ljubila
svaka tvoja laz
me boli jos i sad, to znas

Ni jedna kao ti nije nikada
na dlanu moju dusu imala
a ti si jedina koja me izdala

Ref. 2x
Povredi me jos samo jednom
sa tobom sve je bola vredno
povredi me ja se ne bojim
da ti priznam to da jos te volim
(povredi me, povredi me, povredi me)

Na mome jastuku kao u prolazu
prodju mnoge ali dugo ne traju
za noc su dobre sve
do zore dosade, to znas

Ni jedna kao ti nije nikada
na dlanu moju dusu imala
a ti si jedina koja me izdala

Ref. 4x
