Τον ουρανό μου σου έχω τάξει
Μα θες και τ άστρα για να σαι εντάξει
Στα δίνω όλα μα θέλεις κι άλλα
Σου δίνω αγάπη μα εσύ θες τ άλλα

Δεν μπορώ να κάνω κάτι παραπάνω
Ότι είχα να δώσω το χεις ήδη πάρει
Δεν μπορώ να κάνω κάτι παραπάνω

Ότι είχα να δώσω το χεις ήδη πάρει
Δες πως έχω μείνει κάνε μας τη χάρη

Σου δίνω τρία μα θέλεις έξι
Στα λέω όλα μα εσύ ούτε λέξη
Ανοίγω δρόμους μα θες λεωφόρους
Σου δίνω αγάπη και βάζεις όρους

Δεν μπορώ να κάνω κάτι παραπάνω
Ότι είχα να δώσω το χεις ήδη πάρει
Ρέστος έχω μείνει κάνε μας τη χάρη

Δεν μπορώ να κάνω κάτι παραπάνω

Ότι είχα να δώσω το χεις ήδη πάρει
Ρέστος έχω μείνει κάνε μας τη χάρη
