I tried so hard, my dear,
to show that you're my every dream
Yet you're afraid each thing I
do is just some evil scheme
A memory from your lonesome
past keeps us so far apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
and melt your cold, heart?
Another love before my time has
made your heart sad and blue
And so my heart is pained
now for things I did not do
In anger, unkind words are said
that make the teardrops start
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold,
You'll never know how much it hurts
You know you need and want my love,
Why do you run and hide from life?
To try it just ain't smart
Why can 't I free your doubtful
mind and melt your cold, heart?
There was a time when I believed
But now I know your heart is
The more I learn to care for you,
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
and melt your cold, cold heart?
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
And melt your cold, cold heart?
