Rome Wasn't Built in a Day Lyrics

You don't know it but I've made my mind up
You'll wind up in my arms
First I have to break down your resistance to my charms
Yes darling
I know it won't be easy
But I won't rest until I find a way
Everybody knows Rome wasn't built in a day

How I'll make it happen I'm not certain
I'm working on a plan
And when I get it tight you'll believe I'm your man
You don't know it yet but you'll surrender
When I make my play
But everybody knows that Rome wasn't built in a day

I'll offer you protection
24-hour loving affection
But it'll take time to make it right
Just look at what the Pharaoh did
When he built his pyramid
Everybody knows that didn't spring up over night

There'll be a celebration
And a silver band will play
But everybody knows that Rome wasn't built in a day
Rome wasn't built in a day
