"Rome Wasn't Built In A Day" lyrics - JD MCPHERSON

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
