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, yeah
And get down on my knees and pray, yeah, that they'd 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 did
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 save me

And get down on her knees
Oh, that's how it begins
She'll feel those needles and pins
Oh no, oh no

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, yeah
And get down on my knees and pray, yeah, that they'd 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
Needles and pins
