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
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 it's paying dear for things I didn't do
In anger unkind words you said they make those 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 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?
