Needles And Pins lyrics

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
Didn`t think I`d do
But know I 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
Yeah that`s how it begins
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 and I knew
I had to run away
And get down on my knees and pray
Let there come a day
And still it begins, needles and pins
Because of all my pride
The tears I`ve got to hide
Oh, like needles and pins
Needles and pins
Needles and pins
