It's been a long time (long time)

Shouldn't have left you (left you)

Without a dope beat to step to

Step to, step to, step to, step to, step to

It's been a long time (long time)

Shouldn't have left you (left you)

Without a dope beat to step to

Step to, step to, step to, step to, step to

What would you do to get to me?

What would you say to have your way?

Would you give up or try 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)

You can dust it off and try again

Dust yourself off and try again, try again (again, 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

It's been a long time (long time)

Shouldn't have left you (left you)

Without a dope beat to step to

Step to, step to, step to, step to, step to

Try again, try again

Try again, try again

Try again, try again

Try again, try again

Try again, try again

Try again, try again

Try again, try again

Try again, try again

It's been a long time (long time)

Shouldn't have left you (left you)

Without a dope beat to step to

Step to, step to, step to, step to, step to
