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 to 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
