Evita - Don't Cry For Me, Argentina (feat. Patti LuPone) lyrics

rate me

Eva:

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 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.
