Needles and Pins Lyrics

I saw her today
I saw her face
It was the 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
But still it begins
Needles and pins
Because of all my pride
The tears I gotta hide

Oh I thought I was smart I wanted her
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
Yeah that's how it begins
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 the 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

But still it begins
Needles and pins
Because of all my pride
The tears I gotta hide
Oh needles and pins
Needles and pins
Needles and pins
