Well,
I've 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
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?
Gold gold heart
You nev er know how much it hurts
to see you sit and cry
An d you know you need
and you 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
And there was a time when I believed
You belonged to me
Ah, but now I know your heart
is shackled to a memory
And the more I learn to care for you,
the more we drift apart
Why can't I be your doubtful mind
and melt your cold, heart?
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
