I saw her today, I saw her face It was the face I loved and I knew I had to run away and get down on my knees And pray that they'd go away But still they begin Needles and pins Because of all my pride The tears I gotta hide Hey, I thought I was smart I'd win her heart Didn't think I'd do, but now I see She's worse to him than me Let her go ahead Take his love instead And one day she will see Just how to say please And get down on her knees Hey, that's how it begins She'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 the face I loved and I knew I had to run away and get down on my knees And pray that they'd go away But still they begin Needles and pins Because of all my pride The tears I gotta hide Oh, needles and pins Needles and pins Needles and pins
