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 it begins
Needles and pins
Because of all my pride
The tears I gotta hide
Oh, I thought, I was smart
I stole her heart, didn't think I 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 save me
And get down on her knees
Oh, that's how it begins
She'll feel those needles and pins
Oh no, oh no
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 love and I knew
I had to run away
And get down on my knees and pray
That they go away still it begins
Needles and pins
Because of all my pride
The tears I gotta hide
Hey, needles and pins
Needles and pins
Needles and pins
