Figure Of Eight lyrics

(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 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,

I'm 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 each other

Avoid slipping back off the straight and narrow,

It's better by far than getting stuck

In a figure of eight.
