Needles and Pins (acoustic)

I saw him today
I saw his face
It was a face I loved
And I knew
I had to run away
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 got to hide

I thought I was smart
I’d won his heart
I didn't think I'd lose
But now I see
She’s more to him than me
Let him go ahead
Take her love instead
And one day he will see

How to say "Please"
And get down on his knees
Hey, that's how it begins
He'll feel those needles and pins
Hurtin' him, hurtin' him

Why can't I stop
Tell myself I'm wrong
I'm wrong, so wrong?
Why can’t I stand up
Tell myself I’m strong?

Because I saw him today
I saw his face
Was a face I loved
I can't let go
Although I know
He’ll make me cry
Oh, oh, whoa
'Til the day I die

But I got to live now
And Lord knows
I should forgive now
When they begin
He'll feel those needles and pins
Hurtin' him, stop it now
Needles and pins

When they begin
Hear what I say-ay
Take ’em away-ay
Needles and pins
When they begin
