(It's been a long time, we shouldn't have left you
left you, without a dope beat to step to
step to, step to, step to)
What would you do, to get to me?
What would say, to have your way?
Would you give up or try again,
If I hesitate to let you in?
Now would you be yourself, or play role?
Tell all the boys, or keep it low?
If I say no, would you turn away,
Or play me off or would you stay (oooohhh)...
If at first you don't succeed (first you don't succeed),
then dust yourself off and try again
You can dust if off and try again, try again
'Cause if at first you don't succeed (at first you don't succeed)
You can dust it off and try again, dust yourself off and try again,
try again
I'm into you, you into me, but I can't let it go, so easily
Not 'till I see, where this could be,
could be eternally, or just week
You know our chemistry, is off the chain
It's perfect now, but will it change?
This ain't a yes, this ain't a no
Just do your thang, and we'll see how it goes (oooohhh)...
If at first you don't succeed (first you don't succeed),
then dust yourself off and try again
You can dust if off and try again, try again
'Cause if at first you don't succeed (at first you don't succeed)
You can dust it off and try again, dust yourself off and try again,
try again
See you don't wanna throw it all away,
I might be shy on the first day, but what about the next day
(huh, huh, huh, huh)
See you don't wanna throw it all away,
I might be buggin' on the first day but what about the next day
(huh, huh, huh, huh)
If at first you don't succeed (first you don't succeed),
then dust yourself off and try again
You can dust if off and try again, try again
'Cause if at first you don't succeed (at first you don't succeed)
You can dust it off and try again, dust yourself off and try again,
try again
(It's been a long time, we shouldn't have left you
left you, without a dope beat to step to
step to, step to, step to)
