1. Strophe
I saw her today, I saw her face: It was the face I loved and I knew
I had to run away and get down on my knees and pray
That they go away.
But still they'd begin needles and pins
Because of all my pride the tears I got to hide.
2. Strophe
Hey, I thought I was smart, I'd won her heart
Didn't think I'd do but now you 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
That's how it begins
She'll feel those needles and pins, hurt'n her, hurt'n her
Bridge
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?
3. Strophe
Because I saw her today, I saw her face: It was the face I loved and I knew.
I had to run away and get down on my knees and pray
That they go away.
But still they'd begin needles and pins
Because of all my pride the tears I got to hide.
Coda
Oh, needles and pins,
Needles and pins a,
Needles and pins.
Needles and pins a,
Needles and pins.
Needles and pins a,
Needles and pins.
