I saw her today, I saw her face
It was the face of love, and I knew
I had to run away
And get down on my knees and pray, that they go away
And 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
I didn’t think I’d do, but now I see
She’s worth 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
Oh that’s how it begins, she’ll feel those needle and pins
Hurtin’ her, hurtin’ her
Why can’t 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, saw her today, I saw her face
It was the face of love, and I knew
I had to run away
And get down on my knees and pray, that they go away
And still it begins, needles and pins
Because of all my pride, the tears I gotta hide
Needle and pins, needle and pins, needle and pins
