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
But still they'd begin, needles and pins
Because of all my pride, the tears I gotta hide
Hey I thought I was smart, I'd won her heart
Didn't think I'd do, but now you see
She's worse to him than me, let her go ahead
Take his love instead, one day she will see
Just how to say please, and get down on her knees
That's how it begins, she'll feel those needles and pins
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 a face I loved, and I knew
I had to run away, get down on my knees and pray that they'd go away
But still they'd begin, needles and pins
Because of all my pride, the tears I gotta hide
Oh needles and pins
Needles and pins
Those needles and pins
Needles and pins
Needles and pins
Needles and pins
Needles and pins
Those needles and pins
Needles and pins
