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 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 that hill

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
