[Verse 1]
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 they'd go away

[Chorus]
But still they begin
Needles and pins
Because of all my pride
The tears I gotta hide

[Verse 2]
Oh, thought I was smart, I'd won a heart
Didn't think I'd do, but now you 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

[Chorus 2]
That's how they begin
She'll feel those needles and pins
Hurtin' her, hurtin' her
[Bridge]
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
And get down on my knees and pray
That they'd go away

[Chorus]
But still they begin, now
Needles and pins, are
Because of all my pride
The tears I gotta hide

[Outro]
Oh, needles and pins
Needles and pins, are
Needles and pins
Needles and pins, are
Needles and pins
Needles and pins, are
Needles and pins
Needles and pins, are
Needles and pins
