| 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 |
