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 there'd come a day

And still it begins, needles and pins

Because of all my pride

The tears I've got to hide

Oh, I thought I was smart

I'll hold her heart

Didn't think I'd do

But know I see

She's worse to him than me

Let her go ahead, and take his love instead

And one day she will see

Just how to say please

And get down on her knees

Yeah that's how it begins

Needles and pins

I know, I know

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

Let there come a day

And still it begins, needles and pins

Because of all my pride

The tears I've got to hide

Oh, like needles and pins

Needles and pins

Needles and pins
