I tried so hard, my dear, to show
That you're my every dream
Yet you're afraid each thing I do
It's just not evil scheme
A memory from the lonesome past
Keeps us so far apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
And melt your cold, cold heart?
Another love before my time
Made your heart sad and blue
And so my heart, it's paying dear
For things I didn't do
An angry, unkind words you said
They make those teardrops start
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
And melt your cold, cold heart?
There was a time when I believed
That you belonged to me
But now my heart is shackled to a memory
The more I learn to care for you
The more we drift apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
And melt your cold, cold heart?
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
Melt your cold, cold heart?
