From evita 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 seems 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

Don't cry for me argentina
