I saw her today

I saw her face

It was a face I love

And I knew

I had to run away

And get down on my knees and pray

That they go away

Still they begin

Needles and Pins

Because of all my pride

The tears I gotta hide



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

And take his love instead

Then 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 ... 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
