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 so my heart is payin'' now for things I didn''t do

In anger, unkind words I say 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?
