I saw her today, I saw her 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

And still it begins, needles & pins

Because of all my pride, the tears I gotta hide

Oh, I thought I was smart, I stole her heart

I 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

Oh, that's how it begins, she'll feel those needle & pins

Hurtin' her, 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, saw her today, I saw her face

It was the face I love and I knew I had to run away

And get down on my knees & pray that they go away

And still it begins, needles & pins

Because of all my pride, the tears I gotta hide

Needles & pins, needles & pins, needles & pins
