(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
He wouldn´t have let this bother him, 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
