Zbog tebe sam postao takav

kada mi druge prijateljstvo nude
kako sad moze zena koja ode
ostavljenom prijatelj da bude
Ref.
Zbog tebe draga postadoh takav
ne mogu vise da krijem
u dugim nocima sa drugim zenama
poceh da lutam i pijem
Mnogo je ljudi bacila cvece
pogled se moj sa tvojim sreo
i ja sam tada za tvoju srecu
bacio jedan karanfil beo
Ref.
Iz tvoga doma cula se pesma
drugi je po tebe dosao znam
subota je bila secam se ko danas
spremala te majka za sutrasnji dan
Ref.
