[Timbaland]
It's been a long time
I shouldn'a left you
Without a dope beat to step to
It's been a long time
We shouldn'a left you
Without a dope beat to step to
Baby girl
[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 your 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?
(chorus)
And if at first you don't succeed
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
I'm into you, you're into me
But I can't let it go so easily
Not 'til I see what this could be
Eternally or just a 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 ya thing we'll see how it go. Oh
(chorus)
See, you don't wanna throw it all away
I might be shy on the first day
What about the next day?
Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh?
I said you don't wanna throw it all away
I might be buggin' on the first day
What about the next day?
Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh?
(chorus x3)
[Timbaland]
It's been a long time
I shouldn'a left you
Without a dope beat to step to
It's been a long time
We shouldn'a left you
Without a dope beat to step to
