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

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
Baby girl

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

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

I'm into you, you into me
But I can't let it go so easily
Not till I see whether this could be
Could be eternity or just a week

You know our chemistry is off the chain
It's perfect now, will it change?
This ain't a yes, this ain't a no
Just do your thing, we'll see how it go

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

See, you don't wanna throw it all away
I might be shy on the first date
What about the next date?

I said, you don't wanna throw it all away
I might be buggin' on the first date
What about the next date?

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 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 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

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

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

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

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, step

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, baby, step to, step to

A new millennium baby
