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 there'd come a day


But still it begins
Needles and pins

Because of all my pride
The tears i gotta hide


Oh 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 there'd come a day


But still it begins
Needles and pins
Because of all my pride

The tears i gotta hide
Oh needles and pins
Needles and pins

Needles and pins
