Zene mogu sve
da mrze i da vole
bolesnog da lece
zdravog da razbole

Ref.
Ah zene, zene sta rade od me
ah zene, zene sta rade od me
jedna place, druga laze

Al` od zene nista draze
ah zene, zene sta rade od me
ah zene, zene sta rade od me

Zene mogu sve
da uzme i daju
najlute se brzo
brzo se i kaju
(2x)

Ref.

Zene mogu sve
da grade i ruze
iskrene su nekad
nekad su bez duse
(2x)
