Generale (feat. Uciteljice)

Severina · Other Songs - Severina

Koliko dugo mi glumis postenje
a spavas pored nje
i nosis ruze i bombonjere
i lazi skrivene

Koliko puta sam rekla da nisam
ja jucer rodjena
il' idi drugoj il' voli k'o musko
trece mi ne treba

Ref.
To je ljeto kad sam ostavljena bila
pamtit cu te suze dvjesto godina
platila za sve, a nisam bila kriva
ovo mi je kazna jer sam voljela

To je ljeto kad sam ostavljena bila
pamtit cu te suze dvjesto godina
generale moj, ti pucas u civila
gledaj me u oci kad me ostavljas
ostavljas

Toliko puta sam cekala sama
sa svojim suzama
jer znam da diras i nju a i mene
tim istim rukama

Ref. 2x
