Ziva ne bila
Rade Lackovic · Other Songs - Rade Lackovic
tamo gde sam palio
slavila si sve
sve ono sto sam zalio
Mrzila si sve sto sam ja voleo
tebe takvu nikad, niko
ne bi podneo
nikad, niko ne bi podneo
Ref. 2x
Ziva ne bila
ako te moja tuga hranila
a moj nespokoj doneo srecu
tebi nevernoj
Volela si lazno
tako si i ljubila
uzalud je sve
i zadnju nadu si ubila
Kaznila si me samo da bih patio
ko si ti u stvari
to sam kasno shvatio
ko si, ja sam kasno shvatio
