Don't Cry for Me Argentina lyrics

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 too.

[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.

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 are 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...

[Chorus]

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...
