Because of all my pride
Still it begins
Hey! Needles and pins
The tears I gotta hide
Needles and pins
And I knew I had to run away
Oh no, oh no
Just how to say please
Because of all my pride
And I knew I had to run away
Oh, that's how it begins
Because I saw her today
Why can't I stop and tell myself I'm wrong, I'm wrong, so wrong?
I saw her face, it was a face I love
Needles and pins
Why can't I stand up and tell myself I'm strong?
Didn't think I do but now I see
I stole her heart
And get down on her knees
Let her go ahead
She'll feel those needles and pins
And one day she will see
Oh, I thought I was smart
Needles and pins
Take his love instead
Still it begins
She's worse to him than me
The tears I gotta hide
And get down on my knees and pray that they go away
And get down on my knees and pray that they go away
