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 an evil scheme A memory come 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 dear for things I didn't do In angery unkind words you said that make those teardrops start 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 sat and cry You know you need and want my love yet you're afraid to try Why do you run and hide from lies,to try it just ain't smart 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 our 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
