Needles and Pins

I saw her today, I saw her face

It was a face I loved and I knew

I had to run away-ay

And get down on my knees and pray-ay

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 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

Yeah, that's how it begins-ah

She'll feel those needles and pins

A-hurtin' her, a-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-ay

And get down on my knees and pray-ay

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
