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, cold heart?
 
Another love before my time made your heart sad and blue
 And so my heart is paying 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, cold heart?
 
There was a time when I believed that you belonged to me
 But now I know your 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?
 
You'll never know how much it hurts to see you sit and cry
 You know you need and want my love yet you're afraid to try
 Why do you run and hid from life to try it just ain't smart
 Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold
