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
