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)
