[Timbaland]
It's been a long time, long time
I shouldn't have left you, left you
Without a dope beat to step to
Step to, step to, step to
Step to, step to
Freaky-freaky
It's been a long time
I shouldn't have left you
Without a dope beat to step to
Step to, step to, step to
Step to, step to
Baby girl uh

[Aaliyah]
What would you do?
To get to me
What would you 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 your 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, oh

And if at first you don't succeed
Then dust yourself off and try again
You can dust it off and try again, try again
Cause if at first you don't succeed
You can dust it off and try again
Dust yourself off and try again, try again (and again)

I'm in to you
You into me
But I can't let it go
So easily
Not till I see
Whether this could be
eternity
Or just a 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 thing
We'll see how it goes

And if at first you don't succeed
Then dust yourself off and try again
You can dust it off and try again, try again
Cause if at first you don't succeed
You can dust it off and try again
Dust yourself off and try again, try again (and again)

See you don't wanna throw it all away
I might be shy on the first date
What about the next date?
Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh?
I said you don't wanna throw it all away
I might be buggin' on the first date
What about the next date?
Huh? Huh? Huh? huh?

And if at first you don't succeed
Then dust yourself off and try again
You can dust it off and try again, try again
Cause if at first you don't succeed
You can dust it off and try again
Dust yourself off and try again, try again (and again)

And at first you don't succeed yeeeaaahhh
Dust yourself off and try again
you can dust it off and try again, try again
Cause if at first you don't succeed
You can dust it off and try again
dust yourself off and try again, try again (again again)

[Timbaland]
Check it, uh
It's been a long time,long time
shouldn't have left you,left you
Without a dope beat to step to
Step to, step to, step to
Step to, step to, step to, step to
Freaky-freaky
It's been a long time
We shouldn't have left you
Without a dope beat to step to
Step to, step to, step to
Step to, step to

[Aaliayah]
And if at first you don't succeed
Then dust yourself off and try again
You can dust it off and try again, try again
Cause if at first you don't succeed
You can dust it off and try again
Dust yourself off and try again, try again (and again)
