Don't Cry For Me Argentina - Patti LuPone

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 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
