Smokie Needles and Pins song lyrics

I saw her today

I saw her face

It was a 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.

Oh, I thought I was smart

I'd won a heart

Didn't think I do

But now you see

She's worse to him and me

Let her go ahead

And take this love instead

And one day she will see

Just how to say "please"

Get down on her knees

That's how they begin

You'll feel those needles and pins

Hurtin' her, 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 a 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...

Needles and pins

Needles and pins

Needles and pins

Needles and pins

Needles and pins

Needles and pins

Needles and pins

Needles and pins...
