Try Again

2x
It's been a long time (long time)
We shouldn't have left you (left you)
Without a dope beat to step to (step, step, step to...)

(baby girl, ah)

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 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

And if your first you don't succeed
Then dust yourself off and try again
You can’t dust it off
And try again, try again
‘Cause if at first you don’t succeed
you can’t dust it off
And try again
Dust yourself off and try again
Try again

I’m into you, you're 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

If at first you don’t succeed
Then dust yourself off and try again
You can’t dust it off
And try again, try again
‘Cause if at first you don’t succeed
you can’t 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
See you don’t wanna throw it all away
I might be buggin’ on the first day
But what about the next day

If at first you don’t succeed
Then dust yourself off and try again
You can’t dust it off
And try again, try again
‘Cause if at first you don’t succeed
you can’t 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 dpoe beat to step to
