don't cry for me argentina lyrics

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
It's 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

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
