| I saw her today, I saw her face |
| It was the 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 begin |
| Needles and pins |
| Because of all my pride |
| The tears I gotta hide |
|
| Hey, I thought I was smart, I wanted her |
| 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 |
| Yeah, that's how it begins |
| She'll feel those needles and pins |
| a-hurtin her, 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 the 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 begin |
| Needles and pins |
| Because of all my pride |
| The tears I gotta hide |
| Ah, needles and pins |
| Needles and pins |
| Needles and pins |
