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 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 seemed to the world
they were all I desired
they are illusions
they are not the solutions
they promised to be
the answer was here all the time
I love you and hope you love me

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

I kept my promise
don’t keep your distance
