U tebi raste lijepo dijete

a njemu strasne stvari prijete
u tebi raste dijete moje
u tebi raste dijete tvoje
A jednog dana iznenada
bit ce stanovnik ovog grada
to lijepo dijete samo tvoje
to lijepo dijete samo moje
I nista, nista nece znati
njezno, njezno ces ga prati
svoju ljubav ces mu dati
svoju ljubav cu mu dati
I nista, nista nece znati
poslije puno, puno sati
kada neke stvari shvati
o zivotu sve ce znati
u tebi raste lijepo dijete
u tebi raste lijepo dijete
U tebi raste lijepo dijete
a njemu strasne stvari prijete
u tebi rastu moje strasti
dijete ce nase brzo rasti
U tebi raste ljubav moja
u tebi raste ljubav tvoja
to lijepo dijete koje hocu
raste u tebi danju, nocu
U tebi raste lijepo dijete
