You wanted to buy me
For a hundred euro
You said you'd take me
To your little car
Your friend lived near by
He had a house and all
Where was i from you said
You guessed yugoslavia
Well it's not yogoslavia
It's not yugoslavia at all
It reminded me
Of a movie i just saw
About a little girl
From yugoslavia
She got sent away
They made her prostitute
She ate mcdonald's all day
And never had a chance to play
Lyla
You wanted to buy me
For a hundred euro
You said you'd take me
To your little car
Your friend lived near by
He had a house and all
Where was i from you said
You guessed yugoslavia
But it's not yugoslavia
It's hardly yugoslavia at all
Lyla
