Rome Wasn't Built In A Day

(album: At My Age - 2007)

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
