I saw her today, I saw her face It was a 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 And still it begins, needles and pins Because of all my pride The tears I've got to hide Oh, I thought I was smart I'll hold her heart Didn't think I'd do But know I see She's worse to him than me Let her go ahead, and 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 Needles and pins I know, I know 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 a face I loved and I knew I had to run away And get down on my knees and pray Let there come a day And still it begins, needles and pins Because of all my pride The tears I've got to hide Oh, like needles and pins Needles and pins Needles and pins
