Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
A memory from the lonesome past keeps us so far apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold, cold heart?
[Verse 2]
Another love before my time made your heart sad and blue
And so my heart, it's payin', dear, for things I didn't do
And angry, unkind words you've said, they make those teardrops start
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold, cold heart?
[Verse 3]
There was a time when I believed that you belong 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?
Why can't I free your doubtful mind, melt your cold, cold heart?
