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.
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.
The answer is 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.
