Lyric Rome wasn t built in a day
(chorus)
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 from the start
That I m planting a little seed in your heart, I know
and it just needs time to grow, baby
(chorus)
Listen to me, honey now
How would Romeo feel if his Juliet
Had turned down his advances and played hard-to-get
Because where there s life, there s hope
(chorus)
Don t you hear me tellin you that Rome wasn t built in a day
Don t you realize that 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 from the start
That I m planting a little seed in your heart, I know
and it just needs time to grow, baby
(chorus)
Listen to me, honey now
How would Romeo feel if his Juliet
Had turned down his advances and played hard-to-get
Because where there s life, there s hope
(chorus)
Don t you hear me tellin you that Rome wasn t built in a day
Don t you realize that Rome wasn t built in a day
