Don’t Cry for me, Argentina

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.

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’re not the solutions they promised to be.
There answer was here all the time.
I love you and hope you love me.

(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.
