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

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, I didn't think I'd do, 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

Oh, and get down on his knees

Hey, that's how it begins

He'll feel those needles and pins

A-hurtin' him, a-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 that face I loved, I can't let go

Although I know he'll make me cry

Oh, whoa, whoa, till the day I die

But, people, I'd like to live, now

And Lord knows I should forgive, now

Yeah, when it begins

You feel those needles and pins

A-hurtin' him, a-stop it now

A-stop those needles, stop those pins

(Needles and pins)

Lord, when they begin

(Needles and pins)

Oh, won't you hear what I say?

(Needles and pins)

A-somebody, a-take 'em away

(Needles and pins)

A-stop 'em now, a-stop 'em

Stop those needles and pins, yeah, yeah

(Needles and pins)

Oh, when they begin

(Needles and pins)

I feel those needles and pins

(Needles and pins)
