(Timbaland)
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
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
Freaky-freaky, 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 hesitated
To let you in
Now would you be yourself
Or play your role
Tell all the boys
I keep you low
If I saw no
Would you turn away?
Or play me off
Or would you stay, oh, 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)

(Aaliyah)
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
Could be eternally
Or just a week
Ay yo 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 go, oh, 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)

(Aaliyah)
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 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)

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

(Timbaland)
Check it, uh
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
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
Freaky-freaky

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)

Ça fait longtemps
J'avais pas dû te quitter
Sans un bon rythme pour danser
Ça fait longtemps
J'avais pas dû t'avoir quittée
Sans un bon rythme pour danser
Ma meuf
[Aaliyah]
Que ferais tu pour t'approcher de moi ?
Que dirais tu pour que ce soit comme tu le veux ?
Tu abandonnerais ou réessayerais
Si j'hésitais de te laisser ?
Tu te comporterais comme toi-même ou jouerais à un rôle ?
Le dirais à tous tes copains, ou le garder en secret ?
Si je te disais non, tu partiras ?
Ou tu ferais ça une blague, ou tu resterais ?
(refrain)
Et si au premier essai tu réussis pas
Tu peux le rabrouer et réessayer
Rabroue-le et réessaie
Réessaie
Et si au premier essai tu réussis pas
Tu peux le rabrouer et réessayer
Rabroue-le et réessaie
Réessaie
Tu m'intéresse, et tu m'intéresse autant
Mais je peux pas laisser ça commencer si facilement
Jusqu'à avoir vu la possibilité de notre relation
Toujours ou une seule semaine
Tu sais que notre chimie est extrême
Maintenant c'est parfait, mais ça changera ?
Je dis ni oui ni non
Continue comme ça et on verra. Oh.
(refrain)
Bon, tu veux pas oublier tout ça
Peut-être je suis timide au début
Mais quoi après ça ?
Hein ? Hein ? Hein ? Hein ?
J'ai dit que tu ne veux pas oublier tout ça
Peut-être au début je te gêne
mais quoi après ça ?
Hein ? Hein ? Hein ? Hein ?
(refrain x3)
[Timbaland]
Ça fait longtemps
J'avais pas dû t'e quitter
Sans un bon rythme pour danser
Ça fait longtemps
J'avais pas dû t'avoir quittée
Sans un bon rythme pour danser
