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
And its 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 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
The truth is i never left you
All through my wild days, my mad existence
I kept my promise; don't keep your distance

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
