Song | Rome Wasn't Built in a Day |
Artist | Nick Lowe |
Album | At My Age |
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 |
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 | |
Twentyfour 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 |
