verse 1
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
verse 2
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
verse 3
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
