It won't be easy You'll think it's true

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 on my life down out here

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

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.
