[Verse 1] I saw her today I saw her face, it was a face I loved And I knew I had to run away, yeah And get down on my knees and pray, yeah That they'd go away [Chorus] Still it begins-a Needles and pins-a Because of all my pride The tears I gotta hide [Verse 2] Oh, I thought I was smart I'd steal 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-a She'll feel those needles and pins Hurting her, hurting her [Hook] 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 [Verse 1] Because I saw her today I saw her face, it was a face I loved And I knew I had to run away, yeah And get down on my knees and pray, yeah That they'd go away [Chorus] Still it begins-a Needles and pins-a Because of all my pride The tears I gotta hide [Outro] Hey, Needles and pins-a Needles and pins-a Needles and pins-a
