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?
And if at first you don't succeed
You can dust it off and try again,
Dust yourself 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
What would you do to get to me?

Dust yourself 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
So, you don't wanna throw it all away
I might be shy on the first date
What about the next date?
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
I said, you don't wanna throw it all away
I might be buggin' on the first date
What about the next date?
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
And if at first you don't succeed
You can dust it off and try again
Dust yourself 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
