Needles And Pins Lyrics - Hermans Hermits

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'd 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 wanted her 

Didn't think I'd 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 say, please and get down on her knees 

Yeah, that's how it begins 

She'll feel those needles and pins 

A-hurtin' her, a-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? 

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'd go away 

But still they begin, needles and pins 

Because of all my pride, the tears I gotta hide 

Ah, needles and pins, needles and pins 

Needles and pins
