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 it begins
  Needles and pins
  Because of all my pride
  The tears I gotta hide
  Oh! I thought I was smart
  I stole her heart
  Didn't think I do
  But now I 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 save me
  And get down on her knees
  That's how it begins
  She'll feel those needles and pins - oh, no - oh, no
  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 love
  And I knew I had to run away
  And get down on my knees and pray that they go away
  Still it begins
  Needles and pins
  Because of all my pride
  The tears I gotta hide
  Hey! Needles and pins
  Needles and pins
  Needles and pins
