Saw him today, I saw his face   It was the face I love and I knew   I had to run away and get down on my knees and pray   That they go away but still they begin      Needles and pins   Because of all my pride   The tears, I gotta hide      Hey, I thought I was smart   I'd won his heart, I didn't think I'd lose   But I see she worst to him than me   Let him go ahead, take her love instead   And one day he will see just how to say, "Please"      Oh, and get down on his knees   That's how it begins   You'll feel those needles and pins   Hurtin' him, hurtin' him      Why can't I stop and tell myself   It's wrong, so wrong, so wrong?   Why can't I stand up   Tell myself to be strong?      Because I saw him today   I saw his face it was the face I love   I can't let go, although I know   He'll make me cry until the day I die      But people I got to live now   Oh, Lord knows, I should forgive now   That's how they begin   You'll feel those needles and pins      Somebody stop 'em now   Stop those needles and pins   Oh, stop 'em now   Stop those needles and pins   Somebody take 'em away, stop now      Stop those needles and pins   Stop those needles and pins, now, oh, no   Somebody take 'em away, stop now   Stop those needles and pins
