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, 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 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?
