Eva: The actress hasn't learned the lines you'd like to hear
She's sad for her country
Sad to be defeated by her own weak body
I want to tell the people of Argentina
I've decided I should decline
All the honors and titles you've pressed me take
For I'm contented
Let me simply go on as the women who brings her people
To the heart of Peron
Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I shall not leave you
Though it may get harder for you to see me
I'm Argentina and always will be
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
Well, i know from experience
That if you have to ask for something more than once or twice
It wasn't yours in the first place
And that's hard to accept when you love someone
And you're led to believe in their moment of need
That they want what you want but they don't
Bridge:
Don't go breaking my heart like you said you would
Baby, you're no good
And you hurt me like no other lover ever could
Don't go making me cry
You're gonna say goodbye
Baby, tell me why
Tell me why or you're gonna have to justify this
Chorus (substituting "this" for "i'm" in 2nd line):
Waiting for you
I'm waiting
Can't you see i'm waiting for you
Don't break my heart
(repeat chorus)
It was so easy in the beginning
When you didn't feel like running from your feelings like you are now
What happened? what do i remind you of?
Your past, your dreams
Or some part of yourself that you just can't love?
I wish i could believe you
Or at least have the courage to leave you
Life has taught me that love with a man like you
Is only gonna make me blue
But i love you anyway no matter what you do
You don't come around here like you did before
When you did adore
Tell me what i did to deserve this
(chorus)
(chorus, substituting "just" for "i'm" in 2nd line)
Intermediate:
Finally i see a different man
Only love can hurt like this can
Finally i see a different face
Tell me who is going to take my place
(bridge)
I knew it from the start that you would desert me
You're gonna break my heart
Baby, please don't hurt me
(repeat)
(intermediate)
(chorus, repeat)
I knew it from the start that you wo

Eva: To think that a man as famous as you are
Could love a poor little nothing like me
I wanna be a part of B.A. Buenos Aires
Big Apple
Chorus: She wants to be a part of B.A. Buenos Aires
Big Apple
Che: Just listen to that
They're on to you Magaldi
I'd get out while you can
Eva: It's happened at last
I'm starting to get started
I'm moving out with my man
Magaldi: Now Eva don't get carried away
Eva: Monotony past suburbia departed
Who could ever be fond of the back of beyond
Magaldi: Don't hear words that I didn't say
Chorus: What's that
You'd desert the girl you love
Magaldi: The girl I love
What are you talking about
Juan: She really brightened up your out of town engagement
Chorus: She gave you all she had
She wasn't in your contract
You must be quite relieved that no one's told the papers
So far
Eva: I wanna be a part of B.A. Buenos Aires
Big Apple
Would I have done what I did
If I hadn't thought
If I hadn't known we would stay together
Juan: Seems to me there's no point in resisting
She's made up her mind you've no choice
Why don't you be the man who discovered her
You'll never be remembered for your voice
Magaldi: The city can be paradise for those who have the cash
The class and the connections what you need to make a splash
The likes of you get swept up in the morning with the trash
If you were rich or middle class
Eva: Screw the middle classes
I will never accept them
My father's other family were middle class
And we were kept out of sight hidden from view at his funeral
Juan: Do all your one night stands give you this trouble
Magaldi: Eva beware of the city
It's hungry and cold can

I traded fame for love
Without a second thought
It all became a silly a game
Some things cannot be bought
I got exactly what I asked for
Wanted it so badly
Running, rushing back for more
I suffered fools so gladly
And now I find
I've changed my mind
Chorus:
The face of you
My substitute for love
My substitute for love
Should I wait for you
My substitute for love
My substitute for love
I traveled round the world
Looking for a home
I found myself in crowded rooms
Feeling so alone
I had so many lovers
Who settled for the thrill
Of basking in my spotlight
I never felt so happy
(chorus)
Mmmmm, ooohhh, mmmmm
Famous faces, far off places
Trinkets I can buy
No handsome stranger, heady danger
Drug that I can try
No ferris wheel, no heart to steal
No laughter in the dark
No one-night stand, no far-off land
No fire that I can spark
Mmmmm, mmmmm
(chorus)
Now I find I've changed my mind
This is my religion
I want the good life
But I don't want an easy ride
What I want is to work for it
Feel the blood and sweat on my fingertips
That's what I want for me
I want to know everything
Maybe someday I will
What I want is to find my place
Breathe the air and feel the sun on my children's face
That's what I want
Chorus:
I go round and round just like a circle
I can see a clearer picture
When I touch the ground I come full circle
To my place and I am home
I am home
I want to let go of all disappointment that's waiting for me
What I want is to live forever
Not defined by time and space
It's a lonely place
That's what I want
You've got style, that's what all the girls say
Satin sheets and luxuries so fine
All your suits are custom made in london
But i've got something that you'll really like
Chorus:
Gonna dress you up in my love
All over, all over
Gonna dress you up in my love
All over your body
Feel the silky touch of my caresses
They will keep you looking so brand new
Let me cover you with velvet kisses
I'll create a look that's made for you
(chorus)
Gonna dress you up in my love, in my love
All over your body, all over your body
In my love
All over, all over
From your head down to your toes
You, you make my life much bright, baby
You're always on my mind
Don't you know you, you make my load much light, baby
True love is ours to find
You came along when i was losing my way
You touched my heart and now i'm ready to say
That all your sweetness callin' back ugly skies
And now i've fallen for the look in your eyes
I couldn't ask for more
You're what i'm looking for
Oh
(chorus)
Sometimes i feel i have to get away
I change my mind when i look in your eyes
And when those clouds come in to darken our day
You're never gonna hear me say good-bye
I couldn't ask for more
You're what i'm looking for
Oh
Don't tell me to stop
Tell the rain not to drop
Tell the wind not to blow
'Cause you said so, mmm
Tell the sun not to shine
Not to get up this time, no, no
Let it fall by the way
But don't leave me where I lay down
Chorus:
Tell me love isn't true
It's just something that we do
Tell me everything I'm not
(first time:) But please don't tell me to stop
(all other times:) But don't ever tell me to stop
Tell the leaves not to turn
But don't ever tell me I'll learn, no, no
Take the black off a crow
But don't tell me I have to go
Tell the bed not to lay
Like the open mouth of a grave, yeah
Not to stare up at me
Like a calf down on its knees
(chorus)
(chorus, prefixing 1st and 3rd lines with "Don't you ever")
[Don't you ever]
Please don't
Please don't
Please don't tell me to stop
[Don't you ever]
Don't you ever
Don't ever tell me to stop
[Tell the rain not to drop]
Tell the bed not to lay
Like a open mouth of a grave, yeah
Not to stare up at me
Like a calf down on its knees
Get up on the dance floor, everything is groovin'
Get up on the dance floor, got to see you movin'
Let the music shake you, let the rhythm take you
Feel it in your body, sing la dee da dee
Come on join the party, let the bassline pump you
Bring your body over, baby let me bump you
I know i can groove you, you know i can move you
Feel it in your body, sing la dee da dee
(chorus)
Intermediate:
Keep on doin' what you're doin' baby
Keep on, don't stop groovin'
Keep on doin' what you're doin' baby
Keep on, keep movin', keep groovin'

(chorus)
(intermediate)
Keep on, keep movin', keep groovin' (repeat 3 times)
