Needles and Pins

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
But still they begin, uh
Needles and pins, uh
Because of all my pride
The tears I gotta hide

[Verse 2]
Hey, I thought I was smart
I'd won his heart
Ah, 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

[Chorus]
Just how to say "Please", uh
Oh, and get down on his knees, uh
Hey, that's how it begins, uh
He'll feel those needles and pins
Hurtin' him, hurtin' him

[Bridge]
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?

[Verse 3]
Because I saw him today
I saw his face
It was a face I loved
I can't let go
Although I know
He'll make me cry
Oh, woah, woah
'Til the day I die

[Pre-Chorus]
But, people
I got to live now
And Lord knows
I should forgive now

[Chorus]
Yea, when it begins, uh
He'll feel those needles and pins
A-hurtin' him, a-stop it now
Stop those needles
Stop those pins
Lord, when they begin, uh
Oh, won't you hear what I say?
Somebody, a-take 'em away
A-stop 'em now, a-stop 'em
Stop those needles and pins

[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, oh, when they begin, uh
I feel those needles and pins
Hurtin' me, hurtin' me
Stop 'em now, needles and pins
