It wont be easy, youll think it strange

When I try to explain how I feel

That I still need your love after all that Ive done

You wont believe me

All you will see is a girl you once knew

Although shes dressed up to the nines

At sixes and sevens with you


I had to let it happen; I had to change

Couldnt 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


Dont cry for me, argentina

The truth is I never left you

All through my wild days

My mad existence

I kept my promise

Dont 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

Theyre not the solutions they promised to be

The answer was here all the time

I love you and hope you love me


Dont cry for me, argentina


Dont cry for me, argentina

The truth is I never left you

All through my wild days

My mad existence

I kept my promise

Dont keep your distance


Have I said too much? theres 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
