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
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 though my wild days, my mad existence
I kept my promise, don’t keep your distance

and as for fortune, and as for pain
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

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
