It won't be easy, you'll think it's 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 are 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.
