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, and get down on my knees and pray that they'd go away

But still they'd begin (uh), needles and pins (uh)

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

Hey that's how it begins (uh), 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, and get down on my knees and pray that they'd go away

But still they'd begin (uh), needles and pins (uh)

Because of all my pride, the tears I gotta hide



Oh needles and pins (uh), needles and pins (uh), needles and pins (uh)
