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 too



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 promise 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
