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 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 was there all the time.
I love you and hope you love me.
Coda
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.
