I saw her today, I saw her face It was a face I love

And I knew I had to run away And get down on my knees and pray that they 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 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 save me

And get down on her knees 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 love

And I knew I had to run away And get down on my knees and pray that they 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
