Usne su ti rubini

ili me zaboravi
kad iz mene ljubav krene
ti je ne zaustavi
Ref. 2x
Usne su ti rubini
oci dijamanti
daj uradi nesto lepo
vredno da se pamti
Ja kad nekog zelim to je
odmah ili nikada
kad iz mene ljubav krene
najbolja je nagrada
Ref. 2x
Pet minuta sa mnom ti je
kao s nekom hiljadu
kad iz mene ljubav krene
ne poznaje dosadu
Ref. 2x
