Nick Lowe - 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 that 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 Twenty-four-hour love and 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
