Kakva sam, takva sam
Stoja · Other Songs - Stoja
Kakva sam, takva sam, ne diraj
zivot mi iz korena ne menjaj
svi su vreme gubili sto su mene menjali
nemoj da ga gubis sad i ti
svi su vreme gubili sto su mene menjali
uzmi ili ostavi
Nikada se nikome ja ne klanjam
uvek se na sebe oslanjam
dva puta istu gresku ne placam
zato svakom kazem sta osecam
Takve kakve volis ti
poslusne i pitome
mozes naci bilo gde
takvih ko ja malo je
Ref.
Nisam slika koju zlatom uramis
da te cekam tamo gde me ostavis
ne postoji tol'ki zid ni ograda
preko koje ti ja ne bih pobegla
Mazena i pazena
od zivota nisam ja
zato ne dam nikome
da mi stavi okove
Ref.
Kakva sam, takva sam
