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
Still they begin
Needles and pins
Because of all my pride
The tears I gotta hide
Hey
I thought I was smart, I'd won 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
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 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
Still they'd begin
Needles and pins
Because of all my pride
The tears I gotta hide
Hey
Needles and pins
Needles and pins
Needles and pins
