This is a song by Aaliyah And honestly she left us away too soon It take it the world and changed With a special message for you Ah-ah-ah-ah Uh-uh
What would you do to get to me? What would you try to have your way? Would you give up or try again? If I hesitate if you didn't win Oh, would you be yourself or play a 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
'Cause 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)
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 (oh) I said, you don't wanna throw it all away I might be buggin' on the first date What about the next date? (Date) Huh (huh) , huh (huh) , uh (huh) , huh (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, try again
Just try again We mean, don't give up, don't be a quiter I know so many say I'm not good at school And I know school tires School it's too hard, too bored I'm glad to make some money I need to make it to my baby For my friends, life is all that If you can make it at school You make out at life You quit here, you'll be quitin' the rest of your life School it's a training grade what prepares you for high school And you'll be ready for life
And if at first you don't succeed (first you don't succeed) Then dust yourself off and try again Try again
