I've 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 now my heart is payin' for things I didn't do
In anger, unkind words are said that make the teardrops start
Why can't I free your doubrful mind and melt your cold, cold heart?

There was a time that 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
