Kao da sam stranac

kao da sam stranac ja
ko da nisi nikad bila moja
nikad bila moja
Ref.
Kazi jednom sta ti je na dusi
il' je tama il' se nebo rusi
kazi jednom, da cekam ne mogu
da se nadam il' se molim Bogu
Sto si takva, sto ubijas sebe
sto ubijas sebe
ionako imam samo tebe
imam samo tebe
Ref.
Ako moras svojim putem poci
svojim putem poci
u kafani ubice me noci
ubice me noci
Ref.
