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
And of the love before my time
Made your heart sad and blue
And so my heart is baying now
For things I didn't 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
Why do you run and hide from love
To try it just ain't smart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
And melt your cold, cold heart
And melt your cold, cold heart
