    Lyrics -
    [Intro: Timbaland]
    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)
    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)
    Step to, freaky-freaky-freaky
    Baby girl, uh
    [Verse 1: 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 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
    [Chorus: Aaliyah]
    And if at first you don't succeed (Oh)
    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
    Again, again
    [Verse 2: Aaliyah]
    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 we go
    [Chorus: Aaliyah]
    And if at first you don't succeed (Oh, yeah)
    Then dust yourself off and try again (Again)
    You can dust it off and try again, try again (Yeah)
    'Cause if at first you don't succeed (Ooh)
    You can dust it off and try again (Try again)
    Dust yourself off and try again (Yeah), try again
    Again, again
    [Verse 3: Aaliyah]
    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)
    Huh (Huh), huh (Oh)
    I said, you don't wanna throw it all away (Away)
    I might be buggin' on the first date
    What about the next date? (Date)
    Huh (Huh), huh (Huh)
    Huh (Huh), huh (Oh)
    [Chorus: Aaliyah]
    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
    Again, again
    [Chorus: Aaliyah]
    And if at first you don't succeed (Uh, yeah)
    Then dust yourself off (Uh) and try again (You can)
    You can dust it off and try again, try again (Again)
    'Cause if at first you don't succeed (Ooh)
    You can dust it off and try again (Again)
    Dust yourself off and try again (Yeah), try again
    Again, again
    [Chorus]
    And if at first you don't succeed (No)
    Then dust yourself off and try again (Yeah)
    You can dust it off and try again, try again (Yeah)
    'Cause if at first you don't succeed (Baby)
    You can dust it off (Hey) and try again (Yeah)
    Dust yourself off and try again, try again
    Again, again
    [Interlude: Timbaland]
    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)
    Step to, step to, step to (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)
    [Chorus: Aaliyah & Timbaland]
    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
    Again, again
    [Outro: Timbaland]
    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, what?
    Step to, step to, freaky-freaky (Whoa)
    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, what?
    Step to, step to, freaky-freaky (We out)
    One mo' again
    The new millennium, baby
    And we out, you guess who it is

      Indeed. Plus, it would have been nice if they would have had a sequel to "Romeo must Die" if she didn't pass away as the chemistry between her and Jet Li was amazing. There's a legend that the original version of "Romeo must Die" included the scene where Aaliyah and Jet li had kissed but because for some reason they thought it would be awkward if her character wound up kissing his character after he watched his father do himself in because of the murder of his brother that it would not be so well. If I become the boss of Warner Brothers Discovery, I will release that version or make them release that version.

I play her music In my car all the time and my little cousin and his friends always ask “who is this, she sounds dope, is she a new artist?” And I have to explain to them that she died nearly 20 years ago and they faces be shook. This is the same reason why we need a resolution didn’t do well, it didn’t do well because at that time nobody was making music like that so people didn’t catch on to that single until later.

      Aaliyah kinda got that back then, but not really. She was always relatable to black people but also had an alternative side. Sometimes people didn’t understand it but thought it was cool. Kinda like MJ and Prince. They were black artist but very eccentric as well. She was kinda like that, but not as weird. 😌

    Aaliyah was the person that molded my daughter into who she is today! I admire her strength and courage! Thank you for influencing her with your brief life! Such a tragic loss to human society!

      Yes indeed. I heard the song for the first time and I've been hooked to ever since. It sounds so modern (aged so well that it doesn't seem a misfit today as well).

    Aaliyah was about to take over the charts. She was about get much shine on the movie screen.
    Her stardom was about to be Taylor Swift and Beyonce.
    She was a Rare artist that could carry a culture while on her way to becoming an International Star.

      00s is not much different than today if you look back. Those times were just as modern as today, unlike the 70s. The 90s and 00s was the blueprint for today, actually.
