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
  
  You'll never know how much it hurts
  To see you sit and cry
  You know you need and want my love
  Yet you're afraid to try
  Why do you run and hide from life
  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 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
