-"Showtime!"
|
-"Okay, here we go!"
|
-"Right, let's go!
|
-"Oooh -"
|
|
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,
|
WANNA KNOW, I WANNA KNOW.
|
|
WHY CAN'T WE TRAVEL A CONTINUOUS LINE?
|
MAKE LOVE RELIABLE COVENANT ALL THE TIME.
|
UP AND DOWN THE HILLS I GO,
|
I WANNA KNOW, I WANNA KNOW.
|
|
IS 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?
|
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,
|
DON'T GO NOWHERE AT ALL.
|
IT'S NOTHING MORE THAN A TAPE LOOP IN A BIG DANCE HALL.
|
|
YOU'VE GOT ME RUNNIN' 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 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?
|
YEAH, WE'D BETTER TAKE GOOD CARE OF ONE ANOTHER
|
AND AVOID SLIPPING BACK OFF THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW,
|
IT'S BETTER BY FAR THAN GETTING STUCK
|
IN A FIGURE OF EIGHT.
|
|
OO, OO, OO,
|
OO, OO, OO,
|
OO, OO, OO.
|
|
YOU'VE GOT ME RUNNIN'!
|
I DON'T KNOW IF I'M COMING OR GOING!
|
ROUND AND ROUND THAT RING I GO,
|
I WANNA KNOW, I WANNA KNOW.
|
|
SAY IS BETTER TO LOVE WITH ONE ANOTHER
|
THAN TO GO (for a walk in the dark) WALK IN THE DARK?
|
IS IT BETTER TO LOVE (to love) THAN TO GIVE IN TO HATE, YEAH?
|
YEAH, WE'D BETTER TAKE GOOD CARE OF ONE ANOTHER
|
AND AVOID SLIPPING BACK OFF THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW,
|
IT'S BETTER BY FAR THAN GETTING STUCK
|
IN A FIGURE OF EIGHT.
|
|
OO, OO, OO,
|
OO, OO, OO.
|
SING IT TO ME, MY BEAUTIES, HOO!
|
|
IS 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?
|
OH YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH!
|
YEAH, WE'D BETTER TAKE, TAKE GOOD CARE OF ONE ANOTHER
|
AND AVOID SLIPPING BACK OFF THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW,
