[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
But still they begin, ah
Needles and pins, ah
Because of all my pride
The tears I gotta hide
[Verse 2]
Hey, I thought I was smart, I 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
[Alternate Chorus]
Just how to say please
And get down on her knees
Yeah, that's how it begins
She'll feel those needles and pins
Hurtin' her, hurtin' her
[Bridge]
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?
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
But still they begin, ah
Needles and pins, ah
Because of all my pride
The tears I gotta hide
[Outro]
Oh, needles and pins, ah
Needles and pins, ah
Needles and pins, ah
