Intro
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
