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 and pins!
Because of all my pride;
The tears I have to hide...
I thought I was smart!
I stole her heart.
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 needles and pins,
Hurting her, hurting her!
Why can't I stop
And tell myself 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!
And still it begins:
Needles and pins!
Because of all my pride;
The tears I have to hide...
Oh, needles and pins!
Needles and pins...
Needles and pins.
