I had to run away, and get down on my knees and pray that they'd go away
But still they'd begin (uh), needles and pins (uh)
Because of all my pride, the tears I gotta hide
Hey I thought I was smart, I'd won 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
Hey that's how it begins (uh), she'll feel those needles and pins
A-hurtin' her, a-hurtin' her
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, and I knew
I had to run away, and get down on my knees and pray that they'd go away
But still they'd begin (uh), needles and pins (uh)
Because of all my pride, the tears I gotta hide
Oh needles and pins (uh), needles and pins (uh), needles and pins (uh)
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 But still they'd begin (uh), needles and pins (uh) Because of all my pride, the tears I gotta hide Hey I thought I was smart, I'd won 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 Hey that's how it begins (uh), she'll feel those needles and pins A-hurtin' her, a-hurtin' her 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, and I knew I had to run away, and get down on my knees and pray that they'd go away But still they'd begin (uh), needles and pins (uh) Because of all my pride, the tears I gotta hide Oh needles and pins (uh), needles and pins (uh), needles and pins (uh) Explain Request ×
