Don't Cry For Me Argentina (From "Evita")

Lyrics

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
 Don't cry for me, Argentina
 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
 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
