                              A/E       E 
Well you got me dancing in a figure of eight 
                                        A/E      E 
Don't know if I'm coming or going, I'm early or late 
B                   C#m 
Round and round the ring I go 
A              B 
I wanna know, I wanna know 
 
Why can't we travel a continuous line 
Make love a reliable covenant all the time 
Up and down the hills I go 
I got to know, I got to know 
 
       A          B 
Is it better to love one another 
        G#m7                      Amaj7/C# 
Than to go for a walk in the dark 
       A         B                          G#m7  B  Bsus4 
Is it better to love than to give in to hate 
           A                B 
Yeah we'd better take good care of each other 
  G#m7              Amaj7/C# 
Avoid slipping back off the straight and narrow 
      F#m7                        B 
It's better by far than getting stuck 
                      E  A  E  A G  F#m  E  A  E  A  G  F#m 
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 
Round and round that little ring 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 in to hate 
Yeah we'd better take good care of one another 
Avoid slipping back off the straight and narrow 
It's better by far than getting stuck 
In a figure of eight
