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.
