It won&9t be easy, you&9ll think it strange
When I try to explain how I feel
that I still need your love after all that I&9ve done
You won&9t believe me
All you will see is a girl you once knew
Although she&9s dressed up to the nines
At sixes and sevens with you
I had to let it happen, I had to change
Couldn&9t 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
Chorus:
Don&9t cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Don&9t 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&9t cry for me Argentina
(chorus)
Have I said too much?
There&9s 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
