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 wanna know 
I wanna 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 into 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 wanna know 
I wanna 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 into 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
