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
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 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
Mmmmmm
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
