Rome (Wasn't Built In A Day) Composer(s): Sam Cooke; Beverly Prudhomme Performer(s): Sam Cooke; Arthur Conley; Johnnie Taylor
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 me 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? He would never let this bother him, this I know 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?
