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 the 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
Chorus 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
Chorus 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
