I've tried so hard, my dear,
to show that you're my every dream
Yet you're afraid each thing I do
A memory from your lonesome past
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
and melt your cold, heart?
Another love before my time
Made your heart sad and blue
And so my heart is pained now
For the things I didn't do
So in anger, unkind words I said
That make the teardrops talk
Why can't I be your doubtful mind
and melt your gold gold heart?
You never know how much it hurts
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
And there was a time when I believed
Ah, but now I know your heart
And the more I learn to care for you,
Why can't I be your doubtful mind
and melt your cold, heart?
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
