[Pre-Chorus]
It's been a long time
I shouldn't left you, (left you)
Without a dope beat to step to
Step to, step to, step to, (uh)

It's been a long time
I shouldn't left you, (left you)
Without a dope beat to step to
Step to, step to, step to, (uh)

[Verse 1]
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 a role?
Tell all the girls
Or keep it low?
If I say no
Would you turn away
Or play me off
Or would you stay (oooohhh)...
[Chorus]
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)
Dust yourself off and try again
You can dust it off and try again, try again

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)
Dust yourself off and try again
You can dust it off and try again, try again

[Verse 2]
I'm in to you
You in to me?
But I can't let it go
So easily
Not 'till I see
What this could bе
Could be eternity
Or just a week?
You know our chеmistry
It's 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)...
[Chorus]
If at first you don't succeed
(First you don't succeed)
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)
Dust yourself off and try again
You can dust it off and try again, try again

[Bridge]
See you don't wanna throw it all away
I might be shy on the first date
But what about the next date (uh, uh)
See you don't wanna throw it all away
I might be buggin' on the first date
But what about the next date (uh, ohoh)

[Chorus]
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)
Dust yourself off and try again
You can dust it off and try again, try again
[Pre-Chorus]
It's been a long time
I shouldn't left you, (left you)
Without a dope beat to step to
Step to, step to, step to, (uh)

It's been a long time
I shouldn't left you, (left you)
Without a dope beat to step to
Step to, step to, step to, (uh)
