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 a 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   I don't go nowhere at all   It's nothing more than a tape loop in a big dance hall      You got me running in a figure of eight   Don't know if I'm coming or going early or late   Round and round I go      I want to know   I want to know      Is it better to love one another
