Balada
Zeljko Joksimovic · Other Songs - Zeljko Joksimovic
i nisam hteo da zadam ti bol
sama si trazila pricu o meni
a to je opasno, srce je to
Ref.
Prva si pocela, prva si pitala
zasto sam tuzan kad se budis
i ja sam priznao, sve sam ti rekao
da gledam nju dok tebe ljubim
Prva si pocela, prva si pitala
sad budi hrabra, daj ne placi
sa tobom ostajem, sa njom ne rastajem
vise od tebe ona znaci
Zasto si trazila kljuc moje duse
to je opasno, srce je to
Ref.
