Rome Wasn't Built in a Day

You don’t know it, but I’ve made my mind up\nYou’ll wind up in my arms\nFirst I have to break down your resistance to my charms\nYes, darling, I know it won’t be easy\nBut I won’t rest until I find a way\nEverybody knows Rome wasn’t built in a day\nHow I’ll make it happen I’m not certain\nI’m working on a plan\nAnd when I get it tight you’ll believe that I’m your man\nYou don’t know it yet but you’ll surrender\nWhen I make my play\nBut everybody knows that Rome wasn’t built in a day\nI’ll offer you protection\nTwenty-four-hour love and affection\nBut it’ll take time to make it right\nJust look at what the Pharaoh did\nWhen he built his pyramid\nEverybody knows that didn’t spring up over night\nThere’ll be a celebration\nAnd a silver band will play\nBut everybody knows that Rome wasn’t built in a day\nRome wasn’t built in a day
