Try Again – English Lyrics
Lyrics & Translation
[English]
It's been a long time (long time), we shouldn't have left you (left you)
Without a dope beat to step to, step to, step to, step to
Step to, step to, freaky-freaky
It's been a long time, we shouldn't have left you (left you)
Without a dope beat to step to, step to, step to, step to
Step to, step-step to, freaky-freaky
Baby girl, oh
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 hesitated 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? Oh
And if at first you don't succeed (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 (first you don't succeed)
You can dust it off and try again
Dust yourself off and try again, try again (again, again)
I'm into you, you into me
But I can't let it go so easily
Not 'til I see, what this could be
Could be eternity, or just a week
But, 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 it goes
And if at first you don't succeed (first you don't succeed) (yeah)
Then dust yourself off and try again (again)
You can dust it off and try again, try again
'Cause if at first you don't succeed (first you don't succeed) (ooh)
You can dust it off and try again (try again)
Dust yourself off and try again, try again (again, again)
So, you don't wanna throw it all away
I might be shy on the first date, what about the next date
Huh, huh, huh, huh
I said you don't wanna throw it all away
I might be bugging on the first date, what about the next date?
Huh, huh, huh, huh
And if at first you don't succeed (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 (first you don't succeed)
You can dust it off and try again
Dust yourself off and try again, try again (again, again)
And if at first you don't succeed (first you don't succeed) (yeah)
Then dust yourself off and try again (you can)
You can dust it off and try again, try again (again)
'Cause if at first you don't succeed (first you don't succeed) (oh-ooh)
You can dust it off and try again (again)
Dust yourself off and try again, try again (again, again)
And if at first you don't succeed (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 (first you don't succeed) (baby)
You can dust it off and try again (yeah)
Dust yourself off and try again, try again (again, again)
It's been a long time (time), we shouldn't have left you (left you)
Without a dope beat to step to
Step to, step to, step to, step to
Step to, step to, freaky-freaky
It's been a long time, we shouldn't have left you (left you)
Without a dope beat to step to
Step to, step to, step to, step to
Step to, step to, freaky-freaky
And if at first you don't succeed (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 (first you don't succeed)
You can dust it off and try again
Dust yourself off and try again, try again (again, again)
It's been a long time (time), we shouldn't have left you (left you)
Without a dope beat to step to
Step to, step to, step to, step to (what?)
Step to, step to, freaky-freaky
It's been a long time (time), we shouldn't have left you (left you)
Without a dope beat to step to
Step to, step to, step to, step to
Step to, step to, freaky-freaky (we out)
One more again
The new millennium, baby
And we out, you guess who it is
