Try Again
Ken Navarro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Without a dope beat to step to (step to, step to, step to, step to).
It's been a long time (long time), we shouldn't of left you (left you),
Without a dope beat 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 it up or try again?
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
If at first you don't succeed (first you don't succeed),
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),
Dust yourself off, and try again
You can dust it off and try again, dust yourself off and try again, try again
I'm into you, you into me? But I can't let it go, so easily.
Not 'till I see, where this could be, could be eternally, or just week.
You know our chemistry, it's off the chain.
It's perfect now, but will it change?
This ain't a yes, this ain't a no.
Just do your thang, and we'll see how it goes.
Ooooh
If at first you don't succeed (first you don't succeed),
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),
Dust yourself off, and try again
You can dust it off and try again, dust yourself off and try again, try again
See you don't wanna throw it all away.
I might be shy on the first day,
But what about the next day? (huh, huh, huh, huh)
See you don't wanna throw it all away.
I might be buggin' on the first day,
But what about the next day? (huh, huh, huh, huh)
If at first you don't succeed (first you don't succeed),
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),
Dust yourself off, and try again
You can dust it off and try again, dust yourself off and try again, try again
It's been a long time (long time), we shouldn't of left you (left you),
Without a dope beat to step to (step to, step to, step to, step to)
The lyrics of "Try Again" by Ken Navarro speak about the challenges of relationships and the difficulties of making things work. The song is all about second chances and trying again after failing the first time. It starts with a reference to a classic hip-hop song of Aaliyah, where the artist asserts that it has been a long time since they had a dope beat to step to, implying that it has been long since they had a good relationship. The song then goes into the dilemma of whether one should give up or try again to make things work. There is hesitance and skepticism in the lyrics, where the artist poses questions for the other person, asking if they would give it up or try again, or if they would turn away if the artist hesitated to let them in. The song then advises that if one doesn't succeed the first time, one can try again by dusting themselves off and trying again. The song ends with the artist urging the other person not to throw it all away and to have patience.
Overall, "Try Again" is a song that promotes positivity by encouraging people to keep trying and not to give up even when things don't work out the first time. It speaks about the importance of perseverance in relationships and the idea that one should keep trying to make things work.
