Don't Cry For Me Argentina

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 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 . . . .
hums a chorus
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.
