AALIYAH - 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, Freaky-Freaky
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, Freaky-Freaky
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 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
And If At First You Don't Succeed
Then Dust Yourself Off And Try Again
You Can Dust It Off And Try Again
'Cause If At First You Don't Succeed
You Can Dust It Off And Try Again
Dust Yourself Off And Try 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
Ayo, 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
Dust Yourself Off And Try Again
You Can Dust It Off And Try Again
'Cause If At First You Don't Succeed
You Can Dust It Off And Try Again
Dust Yourself Off And Try Again
If 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
'Cause If At First You Don't Succeed
You Can Dust It Off And Try Again
Dust Yourself Off And Try Again
And If At First You Don't Succeed
You Dust Yourself Off And Try Again
You Can Dust It Off And Try Again
'Cause If At First You Don't Succeed
You Can Dust It Off And Try Again
Dust Yourself Off And Try Again
And If At First You Don't Succeed
Then You Dust Yourself Off And Try Again
You Can Dust It Off And Try Again
'Cause If At First You Don't Succeed Baby
You Can Dust It Off And Try Again
Dust Yourself Off And 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 To, Freaky-Freaky
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 To, Freaky-Freaky
And If At First You Don't Succeed
Then Dust Yourself Off And Try Again
You Can Dust It Off And Try Again
'Cause If At First You Don't Succeed
You Can Dust It Off And Try Again
Dust Yourself Off And 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 To, Freaky-Freaky
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 To, Freaky-Freaky

SONG FACTS
Writer(s): Timothy Mosley, Stephen Garrett
Producer(s): Timbaland
This Was Featured In The Movie Romeo Must Die. Aaliyah Stared In The Movie Opposite Jet Li. It Was Her First Film Role, And A Promising Start To Her Acting Career. Unfortunately, Aaliyah Appeared In Just One More Movie: Queen Of The Damned, Which Was Released After Her Death.
Timbaland Produced This Song And Wrote It With Stephen Garrett; The Pair Had Previously Collaborated On The Ginuwine Song "Pony" And On Aaliyah's First Hit "Are You That Somebody?," Which Was Used On The Dr. Dolittle Soundtrack.
The "It's Been A Long Time, We Shouldn't Have Left You... Without A Dope Beat To Step To" Line Is A Variation On A Lyric From The 1987 Eric B. & Rakim Song "I Know You Got Soul," Where Rakim Raps: "It's Been A Long Time, I Shouldn't Have Left You... Without A Strong Rhyme To Step To."
This Was The First Song To Top The Hot 100 Based On Airplay Alone, Without Any Sales Figures Being Included. Until December 5, 1998, A Song Had To Be Issued As A Single To Make The Chart (Which Is Why Songs Like "Stairway To Heaven" And "Don't Speak" Didn't Place). "Try Again" Wasn't Released As A Commercial Single Until It Fell From #1 - If You Wanted To Own It Before Then, You Had To Buy The Romeo Must Die Soundtrack.
This Won Mtv Video Music Awards For Best Female Video And Best Video For A Film.
