Figure Of Eight Lyrics
Paul McCartney
Well
you've got me dancing in afigure 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 continious 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 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
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 want to know
I want to know.
Is it better to love one another...
you've got me dancing in afigure 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 continious 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 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
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 want to know
I want to know.
Is it better to love one another...
