Madonna - Evita - 11 Don't Cry for Me Argentina (1996)

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 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 ev'ry word is true


I'm not a big fan of Madonna but she really played good in Evita and I think that she deserved a Oscar award. It's just politics and conservatism that took her little gold man away. This is a very good song and Madonna did a nice job to present her emotion well.
