I heard this song when I was listening to a local radio station in Ohio called WKHR online (I live in Asia), and fell in love with this voice right away.
Doris Long is a Jazz singer from Cleveland, Ohio, who just had her first album "Long Overdue" released in May / June, 2012. According to the news I read, she is now OVER 80 years old, and still sings well.

**LYRICS**
The lyrics are slightly different from other versions of the same song. I tried my best to dictate, but if there's still wrong words, please feel free to tell me. THANK YOU.
Why Try To Change Me Now - Doris Long
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
Why try to change me now
I sit and daydream, I've got daydreams galore
Cigarette ashes, there they go on the floor
Go away for weekends, leave the keys in the door
Why try to change me now
Why can't I be more conventional
People stop, people stare, so I try
But that's not for me, I just can't see
My kind of crazy world 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 around
Why try to change me now
Why can't I be more conventional
People stop, people stare, so I try
But that's not for me, I just can't see
My kind of crazy world go passing me by
So let people wonder
Let 'em laugh, let 'em frown
You know I'll love you till the world's upside down
Don't you remember I was always your clown
Why try to change me
Why try to change me
Don't try to change me now
