Samo sam jednom voleo
Mile Kitic · Other Songs - Mile Kitic
to te tvoje drustvo laze
koliko mi nedostajes
nek' ti ova casa kaze
Ref. 2x
Samo sam jednom voleo
i ti si kriva za to
zato te jos uvek nije
srce prebolelo
Sve ce proci, govore mi ljudi
pusti zivot neka tece
ja bih mozda preboleo
ali ova dusa nece
Ref. 2x
Znam da zalis sto je ljubav prosla
sto su srecu zamenile suze
znaj da i ja u nocima
kunem zivot, sto te meni uze
Ref. 2x
