Rome Wasn't Built in a Day - Nick Lowe

You dont know it but Ive 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 wont be easy

But I wont rest until I find a way

Everybody knows that Rome wasnt built in a day

How Ill make it happen Im not certain

Im workin on a plan and when I get it tight

Youll believe Im your man

You dont know it yet but youll surrender

When Ill make my play

But everybody knows that Rome wasnt built in a day

Ill offer you protection

Twenty-four hour love and affection

But itll take time to make it right

Just look at what the pharaoh did

When he build his pyramid

Everybody knows that didnt spring up over night

Therell be a celebration and a silver band will play

But everybody knows that Rome wasnt built in a day

Rome wasnt built in a day
