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 that rome wasn't built in a day
How I'll make it happen I'm not certain
I'm workin? 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'll make my play
But everybody knows that rome wasn't built in a day
I'll offer you protection
Twenty-four hour love and affection
But it'll take time to make it right
Just look at what the pharaoh did
When he build 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
