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 charmsYes 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 dayHow 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 manYou don?t know it yet but you?ll surrender
When I make my play
But everybody knows that Rome wasn?t built in a dayI?ll offer you protection
24 hours of inaffection
But it?ll take time to make it rightJust look at what the Pharaoh did
When he built his pyramid
Everybody knows that didn?t spring up over nightThere?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
