Sam Cooke feat. Johnnie Taylor Lyrics
"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

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 I know
Because where there's life there's hope

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

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
