Needles And Pins

I saw him today

I saw his face

It was a face I loved

And I knew

I had to run away

And get down on my knees and pray-ay

That they'd go away

But still they begin

Needles and pins-a

Because of all my pride

The tears I gotta hide

Hey, I thought I was smart

I'd win his heart

Ah, I didn't think I'd lose

But now I see

She's more to him than me

Let him go ahead

Take her love instead

And one day he will see

Just how to say please-a

Oh, and get down on his knees-a

Hey, that's how it begins-a

He'll feel those needles and pins

Hurtin' him, hurtin' him

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 him today

I saw his face

It was a face I loved

I can't let go

Although I know

He'll make me cry

Oh, whoa, whoa

'Til the day I die

But, people

I got to live now

And Lord knows

I should forgive now

Yea, when it begins-a

He'll feel those needles and pins

A-hurtin' him, stop it now

Stop those needles

Stop those pins

Lord, when they begin-a

Oh, won't you hear what I say?

Somebody, a-take 'em away

Stop 'em now, stop 'em

Stop those needles and pins

Lord, yeah, oh, when they begin-a

I feel those needles and pins

Hurtin' me, hurtin' me

Stop 'em now, needles and pins
