Why Try to Change Me Now

from Here I'll Stay by Justin Hayford

/

lyrics

I'm sentimental, so I walk in the rain
I've got some habits even I can't explain
Could start for the corner, turn up in Spain
But why try to change me now?

I sit and daydream, I've got daydreams galore
Cigarette ashes, there they go on the floor
I go away weekends, leave my keys in the door
But why try to change me now?

Why can't I be more conventional?
People talk, people stare, so I try
But that's not for me, 'cause I can't see
My kind of crazy world go passing me by

So let people wonder, let them laugh, let them frown
You know I'll love you 'til the moon's upside-down
Don't you remember I was always your clown?
So why try to change me now?

Cy Coleman, Joe McCarthy
