This 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 nines
for 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 choose freedom
running around, trying everything new
but nothing impressed me at all
I never expected it too

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 appeared 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
the truth is I never left you
all through my wild days
my mad existence
I kept my promise,
don't keep your distance
I kept my promise
don't keep your distance
