Rome Wasn't Built In a Day

Don't, honey don't, go away, no no

Don't you hear, don't you hear

What I say, what I say

Give me time, give me time

I'm gonna make your love as strong as mine

But I know Rome wasn't built in a day

Now, you know that I love you dear with all my heart

I know that you didn't love me from the start

But I planted a lil' seed in your heart I know

And it just needs time to grow, baby

Don't, honey don't, go away, no no

Don't you hear, don't you hear

What I say, what I say

Give me time, give me time

I'm gonna make your love as strong as mine

But I know Rome wasn't built in a day

Listen to me honey now

How would Romeo feel if his Juliet

Had turned down his advances and played hard to get

He wouldn't have let this bother him, this I know

Because where there's light there's hope

Oh!

Baby, don't go away, no no

Don't you hear now, don't you hear now

What I say, what I say

Give me time, give me time

I'm gonna make your love as strong as mine

But I know Rome wasn't built in a day

Don't you hear me telling you that

Rome wasn't built in a day

Don't you realize that

Rome wasn't built in a day
