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 go away Still it begins Needles and pins Because of all my pride The tears I gotta hide Oh, I thought I was smart, I stole her heart Didn't think I'd do, but now I see She's worth 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 Oh that's how it begins, she'll feel those needle and pins Hurtin' her, hurtin' her Why can't 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, saw her today, I saw her face It was the face of love, and I knew I had to run away, yeah And get down on my knees and pray, that they go away Still it begins Needles and pins Because of all my pride The tears I gotta hide Hey, needles and pins Needles and pins Needles and pins
