Needles and Pins

Saw him today

I saw his 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'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'd won his heart, I didn't think I'd lose

But now I see, she's worse to him than me

Let him go ahead, take her love instead

And one day he will see just how to say please

Whoa, and get down on his knees

That's how it begins

He'll feel those needles and pins

Hurtin' him, hurtin' him

Why can't I stop and tell myself

It's wrong, so wrong, so wrong?

Why can't I stand up

Tell myself, be strong?

Because I saw him today

I saw his face, it was the face I love

I can't let go, although I know

He'll make me cry until the day I die

But, people, I got to live now

Whoa, and Lord knows I should forgive now

Oh, that's how they begin

You'll feel those needles and pins

Somebody stop 'em now

Stop those needles and pins

Whoa, stop 'em now

Stop those needles and pins

Somebody take 'em away

Stop 'em now

Stop those needles and pins

Stop those needles and pins now

Oh, no

Somebody take 'em away

Stop now, stop those needles and pins
