It wont 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 desire
They are illusions
They are not the solutions
They promise to be
The answer was here all the time
I love you
And hope you love me
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,
All you have to do, is look at me,
To know that every word is true!
Don't cry for me Argentina!
