Saw him today, I saw his face
It was the face I love and I knew
I had to run away and get down on my knees and pray
That they go away but still they begin
Needles and pins
Because of all my pride
The tears, I gotta hide
Hey, I thought I was smart
I'd won his heart, I didn't think I'd lose
But I see she worst to him than me
Let him go ahead, take her love instead
And one day he will see just how to say, "Please"
Oh, and get down on his knees
That's how it begins
You'll feel those needles and pins
Hurtin' him, hurtin' him
Why can't I stop and tell myself
It's wrong, so wrong, so wrong?
Why can't I stand up
Tell myself to be strong?
Because I saw him today
I saw his face it was the face I love
I can't let go, although I know
He'll make me cry until the day I die
But people I got to live now
Oh, Lord knows, I should forgive now
That's how they begin
You'll feel those needles and pins
Somebody stop 'em now
Stop those needles and pins
Oh, stop 'em now
Stop those needles and pins
Somebody take 'em away, stop now
Stop those needles and pins
Stop those needles and pins, now, oh, no
Somebody take 'em away, stop now
Stop those needles and pins
