It won't be easy
you'll think it strange
When I try to explain how I feel

That I still need your love
After all that I've done
You won't believe me

All you will see is a girl you once knew
Although she's dressed up to the nines
At sixes and sevens with you


I had to let it happen
I had to change

couldn't stay all my life down at heel
Looking out of the window
Staying out of the sun

So I chose freedom
Running around trying everything new
But nothing impressed me at all

I never expected it to

Don't cry for me Argentina

The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence

I kept my promise
don't keep your distance


And as for fortune and as for fame
I never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired

They are illusions
They're not the solutions they promised to be
The answer was here all the time

I love you and hope you love me

Don't cry for me Argentina


Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you

All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise

don't keep your distance

Have I said too much?

there's nothing more I can think of
To say to you
But all you have to do is look at me to know

That every word is true
