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 reliable convenant 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.

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, I'm early or late.
Round and round 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 each other
Avoid slipping back off the straight and narrow,
It's better by far than getting stuck in a figure of eight.
