Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
So I chose freedom
Running around trying everything new
But nothing impressed me at all
I never expected it to
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
And as for fortune and as for fame
I never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world
They were all I desired
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
Don't cry for me Argentina
[Verse 9]
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
[Verse 10]
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
