[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 a role

Tell all the boys I keep your love

If I say no would you turn away

Or play me off or would you stay, ohh, oh



[Aaliyah]

And if at first you don't succeed, first you don't succeed

Dust yourself off and try again

You can dust it off and try again, try again

Cos if at first you don't succeed, first you don't succeed

You can dust it off and try again

Dust yourself off and try again, try again



[Aaliyah]

I'm into you you into me

But I can't let it go so easily

Not till I see what this could be

Could be eternity or just a week, oh

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 we go, ohh, oh



[Aaliyah]

And if at first you don't succeed (yeah)

Dust yourself off and try again (again)

You can dust it off and try again, try again (yeah)

Cos if at first you don't succeed (ooh)

You can dust it off and try again (try again)

Dust yourself off and try again, try again (yeah)



[Aaliyah]

Said you don't wanna throw it all away

I might be shy on the first date

What about the next date

Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh

Said you don't wanna throw it all away

I might be buggin on the first date

What about the next date

Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh



[Aaliyah]

And if at first you don't succeed

Dust yourself off and try again

You can dust it off and try again, try again

Cos if at first you don't succeed (first you don't succeed)

Y
