I'm sentimental
So I walk in the rain
I've got some habits
Even I can't explain
I go to the corner
I end up in Spain
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
And leave my keys in the door
Why try to change me now?

Why can't I be more conventional?
People talk
And they stare
So I try
But that can't be
Cuz I can't see
My strange little world
Just go passing me by

Let people wonder
Let 'em laugh
Let 'em frown
You know I'll love you
Till the moon's upside down
Don't you remember
I was always your clown
Why try to change me now?

Why can't I be more conventional?
People talk
And they stare
So I try
But that can't be
Because I can't see
My strange little world
Just go passing me by

So let people wonder
Let 'em laugh
Let 'em frown
You know I'll love you
Till the moon's upside down
Don't you remember
I was always your clown
Why try to change me
Why would you want to change me
Why try to change me now?
