i ne trepnem kad to kazem
a u sebi glas cujem
mili Boze, kako lazem
Ref.
A jesam te jesam, jesam volio
i nisam te nisam jos prebolio
i opet bih opet tebi dao sve
samo da si kraj mene
A jesam te jesam, jesam volio
i nisam te nisam jos prebolio
i opet bih opet tebi dao sve
samo da sam kraj tebe
Bolje mi je sad bez tebe
drugovima jos se hvalim
a u dusi znam dobro
kako mi je, kol'ko zalim
