Jd Mcpherson Rome Wasn T Built In A Day Lyrics

[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

[Chorus 1]
Yes darlin', I know it won't be easy
But I won't stop until I find a way
Everybody knows that 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

[Chorus 2]
You don't know it yet but you'll surrender
When I make my play
Everybody knows that Rome
Wasn't built in a day

[Verse 3]
I'll offer you protection
Twenty-four-hour love and affection
It'll take time to make it right
Take a look at what the Pharaoh did
When he built his pyramid
Everybody knows that didn't spring up over night

[Chorus 3]
There will be a celebration
And a silver band will play
Everybody knows that Rome
Wasn't built in a day
Everybody knows that Rome
Wasn't built in a day
