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 mem'ry 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 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
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.
