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 goI want to know
I want to knowWhy can't we travel a continuous line?
Make a love a reliable covenant all the time
Up and down the hills I goI got to know
I got to knowIs 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 eightWell, 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 hallYou got me running in a figure of eight
Don't know if I'm coming or going early or late
Round and round I goI want to know
I want to knowIs it better to love one another
