Nisam zena koju zivot mazi

Ja nisam zena koju zivot mazi
ja jesam ona sto o sreci sanja
sklanjam se kad neko iza mene gazi
cija je ljubav od moje manja

Ref.
Opijen trenom, nestaces brzo
u nekom zivotnom viru
a meni ce uvek jednako biti
zivecu s nekim bez lazi u miru

Trazices svoje prijatelje stare
u obliznjem parku na nekoj klupi
s' bolom ces saznati al' bice kasno
da zna i zivot samar da lupi

Ref. 2x
