سلمت مرة عليك
ما قدرتش أنسى عينيك
روحت أفكر فيك
من كثر لهفتي ليك
خايفة، خايفة، خايفة

من يومها قلبي معاك
شغلتني وياك

كبر عليّ هواك مع إني أنا مقبلاك صدفة
إيه ثاني أستنى إيه ثاني
وأحلم بمين ثاني
شغلت روحي قوام
شوف مالي صورتك على بالي
ما كانش ده حالي
قبل السلام

قلبي اللي عندك صدقه إحساسي مش كذاب
طول عمري عايشة بخاف عليه وبعمله ألف حساب
خايفة
آه أنا وإنت مكتوبلنا باين نكمل بعض
حبيبي قرب لي هنا ولا إنت ليك في البعد
طمني بأي كلام
إيه ثاني أستنى إيه ثاني
وأحلم بمين ثاني
شغلت روحي قوام
شوف مالي صورتك على بالي
ما كانش ده حالي
قبل السلام

قدر عليّ هواك
إيه ثاني أستنى إيه ثاني
وأحلم بمين ثاني
قدر عليّ هواك
شوف مالي صورتك على بالي
ما كانش ده حالي
شغلت روحي قوام
إيه ثاني أستنى إيه ثاني

وأحلم بمين ثاني
قبل السلام
