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 win
Or 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

[Chorus]
If at first you don't succeed
Dust yourself off and try it again
You can dust it off and try it again

If at first you don't succeed
Dust yourself off and try it again
You can dust it off and try it again

I'm into you,
You into me
But I cant let it go
So easily
Not 'til I see
What this could be
Be eternity
Or just a week
You know, our chemistry
Is off the chain
Is perfect now
But will it change
This aint a yes
This aint a no
Just do your thang
We'll see how it goes...ohhh

If at first you don't succeed
Dust yourself off and try it again
You can dust it off and try it again

If at first you don't succeed
Dust yourself off and try it again
You can dust it off and try it again

[Hook]
If you dont wanna throw it all away
Might be shy on the first date
What about the next date
huh, huh, huh, huh

If you dont wanna throw it all away
You might be buggin' on the first date
But what about the next date
um, um, um, um

Boy, you know
You make me float
Boy, you really get me high
I feel like I'm on dope
'Cause you, you
Serve me on a regular
Boy, beat the tide
Let's stroke
Before he drifted me deeper
Now he really holds me close
Lets take this over boy, now
I want you to

CHORUS:

Rock the boat
Rock the boat
Rock the boat
Rock the boat
Work the middle
Work the middle
Work the middle
Work the middle
Change positions
Do positions
Do positions
Do positions
Stroke it for me
Stroke it for me
Stroke it for me
Stroke it for me

Ooh, baby
I love you stroke
'Cause you, 'cause you
Get me where I'm going
I ain't trying to get revoked
'Cause I believe, I believe
You know just
What you doing, now
Baby, now we can coast
Let's don't give in a hurry
That's too slow
Go ahead and put
That thang in overdrive

Repeat chorus

Stroke it for me
Hmm, stroke it baby
Stroke it baby
Hmm, work it baby
Work it baby
Ooh, stroke it
There is something
I want you to do

I want you to use yourself
Like you never
Ever used it before
Now explore my body
Until you reach the shore
You'll be calling
Calling for me

Repeat chorus thrice

Rock the boat
Rock the boat
Rock the boat
Rock the boat
