I saw her today I saw her face It was a face I love And I knew I had to run away And get down on my knees and pray That they go away Still they begin Needles and Pins Because of all my pride The tears I gotta hide Hey, I thought I was smart I won her heart Didn't think I'd do But now I see She's worse to him than me Let her go ahead And take his love instead Then 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 ... 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
