Needles & Pins - Jackie DeShannon

I saw him today

I saw his 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

Hey, I thought I was smart

I’d win his heart

And I didn’t think I’d lose

But now I see

She’s more to him than me Let him go ahead

Take her love instead

And one day, he will see

Just how to say please

Oh, and get down on his knees

Hey, that’s how it begins

He’ll feel those needles and pins

Hurting him, hurting him

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 him today

I saw his face

It was a face I loved

I can’t let go Although I know

He’ll make me cry

Oh, whoa, whoa

Til the day I die

But, people

I got to live now

And Lord knows

I have to forgive now

Yeah, when it begins

He’ll feel those needles and pins

Hurting him, oh, stop it now

Stop those needles

Stop those pins

Don’t let them begin

Oh, won’t you hear what I say

Somebody, take em away

Stop em now, stop em Stop those needles and pins

Yeah, yeah, oh, when it begins

I feel those needles and pins
