JD McPherson - 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 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 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 Everybody knows that Rome wasn't built in a day I'll offer you protection 24 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 There will be a celebration And a silver band will play Everybody knows that Rome wasn't built in a day Oooh Everybody knows that Rome wasn't built in a day
