Ne zovi me sebi, dragi
ne zovi me da se vratim
nemoj vise da me pitas
sto sam tuzna, zasto patim
Ref. 2x
Hocu da ljubim, ljubim
makar i bolelo
u mom zivotu srce
uvek je volelo
Oduvek sam sama bila
zeljna neko da me voli
mislila sam u ljubavi
svega ima osim boli
Ref. 2x
Hocu da ljubim, ljubim
a srce nek' boli
zivot je tako prazan
prazan bez ljubavi
U srecu sam verovala
mislila sam da je ima
verovala da je ona
u iskrenim poljupcima
