Needles and Åins

I saw her today
I saw her face
It was a face I loved, and I knew
I had to run away
And get down on my knees and pray
That they'd go away
And still they begin
Needles and pins
Because of all my pride
The tears I gotta hide

Oh, thought I was smart
I'd won a heart
Didn't think I do
But now you see
She's worse to him and me
Let her go ahead
And take this love instead
And one day she will see
Just how to say: Please
Get down on her knees
That's how they begin
You'll feel those needles and pins
Hurtin' her, hurtin' her
Why can't I stop and tell myself I'm wrong, I'm wrong, so wrong
Why can't I stand up, and tell myself I'm strong

Because I saw her today
I saw her face
It was a face I loved, and I knew
I had to run away
And get down on my knees and pray
That they'd go away
And still they begin
Needles and pins
Because of all my pride
The tears I gotta hide

Needles and pins
Needles and pins
Needles and pins
Needles and pins
Needles and pins
Needles and pins
Needles and pins
