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

And its 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

The truth is i never left you

All through my wild days, my mad existence

I kept my promise; don't keep your distance



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
