Lagao ja, ne lagao

Cemu rijeci sve ne mogu bez nje
u narucju je tvom drugi bio
nemoj trazit sada izgovor
suvisan je svaki razgovor

Pusti me da patim
pusti me da platim
i da malo zraka uhvatim
ne veze te nista za mene
draze su mi rijeci iskrene

Ref. 2x
Lagao ja, ne lagao
ti si mi u venama
lagala ti, ne lagala
ja sam ti u mislima

Nije nama to bilo sudjeno
zivot nosi svoje, ne da nam u dvoje
nemoj trazit sada izgovor
suvisan je svaki razgovor

Jedino sto sada trebam ja
je tisina tvojih usana

Ref. 2x

Lagao ja, ne lagao
ti si mi u venama

Lagao ja, ne lagao
