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 seems 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
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


Don`t cry for me Argentina
