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

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
Don't cry for me Argentina
