Ref.
Ja nocas pijem, da se napijem
bol u srcu svom, da ubijem
ja nocas placam, ljubav ispracam
mozda sam kriv al' ipak ne shvacam

Zasto je trajalo tako dugo
ako me ne voli
zasto je trebalo tako malo
da me zaboravi
(2x)

Ja nocas pijem
da se napijem
bol u srcu svom
da ubijem

Ref.

Zasto je trajalo tako dugo
ako me ne voli
zasto je trebalo tako malo
da me zaboravi

Evo i dusa, srce je uzela
vise ne mogu da dam
a ovo tijelo vec se napilo
jos bih htio da znam

Zasto je trajalo tako dugo
ako me ne voli
zasto je trebalo tako malo
da me zaboravi

Ja nocas pijem, da se napijem
bol u srcu svom, da ubijem
bol u srcu svom, da ubijem
