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 memory from your lonesome
past keeps us so far apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
and melt your cold, heart?
Another love before my time has
made your heart sad and blue
And so my heart is pained
now for things I did not 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 set 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, 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?
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
And melt your cold, cold heart?
Melt your cold, heart!
