Don't cry for me, Argentina
It won't be easy
You will think it strange
When I try to explain how I feel
that I still want 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
And sixes and sevens with you
I had to let it happen
I had to change
Couldn't stay all my life down to heels
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 are not the solutions
They promise to be
The answer was here all the time
I love you and hope you love me (*)
Have I said too much
There is nothing more I can think of say to you
But all you have to do
Is look at me to know that every word is true
