Well you’ve got me dancing in a figure of eight
Don’t know if I’m coming or going, I’m early or late
Round and round the ring I go
I want to know, I want to know
Why can’t we travel a continuous line
Make love a reliable covenant all the time
Up and down the hills I go
I got to know, I got to know
Is it better to love one another
Than to go for a walk in the dark
Is it better to love than to give in to hate
Yeah we’d better take good care of each other
Avoid slipping back off the straight and narrow
It’s better by far than getting stuck
In a figure of eight
Well figure it out for yourself little girl
It don’t go nowhere at all
It’s nothing more than a tape loop
In a big dance hall
You’ve got me running in a figure of eight
Don’t know if I’m coming or going, early or late
Well round and round that little ring I go
I want to know, I want to know
Is it better to love one another
Than to go for a walk in the dark
Is it better to love than to give in to hate
Yeah we’d better take good care of one other
Than avoid slipping back off the straight and narrow
It’s better by far than getting stuck
In a figure of eight
