Don't cry for me, argentina

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
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
