Nekad si moja bila

ne drzi me mesto ni dan
ponekad ponovo dodjes
i venama prodjes ko san
Sad lazi sipas po meni
a nekad si moja bila
taj otrov pijem da zivim
a njime si sebe ubila
Ref. 2x
Moja tuga sad u tebi je
moje suze stigle su te sve
nije onom kom' ti zelis zlo
vec je onom kom' je sudjeno
Drugi su ljubav sahranili
al' nikad niko ko ti
jer mnoge ljubavi proci ce
a mene jos ces voleti
Sad lazi sipas po meni
a nekad si moja bila
taj otrov pijem da zivim
a njime si sebe ubila
Ref. 4x
