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 and 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
Yeah, that's how it begins
She'll feel those 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
Ad I knew I had to run away
And get down on my knees and pray
Let 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, needles and pins
Needles and pins
Needles and pins
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 and 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 Yeah, that's how it begins She'll feel those 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 Ad I knew I had to run away And get down on my knees and pray Let 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, needles and pins Needles and pins Needles and pins Explain Request ×
