I saw her today
I saw her face
It was a face I love

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 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 love
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

Hey!
Needles and pins needles and pins needles and pins
