[Verse 1]
I've tried so hard, my dear, to show
That you're my every dream
And yet you're afraid each thing I do
Is just some evil scheme
[Chorus]
A memory from your lonesome past
Keeps us so far apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
And melt your cold heart?
[Verse 2]
Another love before my time
Made your heart sad and blue
So my heart, my heart is paying now
For all of the things I didn't do
[Outro]
In anger, unkind words are said
And these are, these are the things that make the teardrops start
Why, oh why can't I free your doubtful mind?
Ooh honey, I'd really like to melt your cold, cold heart
Why, oh why can't I free your doubtful mind?
And I'd really, really like to melt your icy heart, mhm
