Figure to eight - The Beatles

Back Vocal

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. Hey!

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've 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, oh no!

You got me running
in a figure of eight.

Don't know if I'm coming or going,
I'm early or late, early or late.

Round and round I go,
I want to know, I want to know.

Say, 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?

Yes, we'd better take good care of one another
than avoid slipping back off the straight
and narrow.

It's better by far than getting stuck
in a figure of eight.
