Flip this around and switch these two rows
To get these matching up, like so
Move this row back to slide this one in
You might hate that it’s going quite so slow
Sometimes you gotta take two steps back
To move forward as you mix and match
Don’t get frustrated, don’t lose your cool
Not everyone picks up on this fast

But as you twist and as you grind
It’s very possible you’ll find

You spin around and around
But no one figures you out
You flip up and down
And no one figures you out

What if there are ways to break your code
Instead of staring at you, confuzzled?
I mean confused, instead of what I said
I guess you’re that much a puzzle
Heaven forbid, oh heaven knows
If there are guys who’d do you with their eyes closed
What would you do, where would you go
If everyone knew how to leave you exposed?

And when they pass along the word
I’ll see you start to lose your nerve

You spin around and around
And hope they don’t figure you out
You flip up and down
Praying no one figures you out
Rub-ix Cube
Rub-ix Cube
Your gonna go round and round
I think I figured you out

Did you become a Rub-ix cube
To twist around for fun?
Are you a crossword puzzle
So the right words get the job done?
Have you turned sudoku
Looking for those who’ll fill your blanks?
When did you become a game?
When did you become a game?

If I can’t figure out the combination of turns to take
Do I just make a mess of you and try again?
Would someone rip the colors off of you to rearrange?
Should I just shrug you off and hand you over to a friend?
Have you an easy button, have you a reset switch?
Or do you just forgive that soon?
When did you turn into the novelty that everyone sees
Revolving around the room
Getting passed around the room…

And maybe you’ll still tease me
But those guys there all say you’re easy

You spin around and around
‘Til someone figures you out
You flip up and down
‘Til everyone figures it out
Rub-ix Cube
Rub-ix Cube
Your body goes round and round
But your mind can’t figure it out
