Saw him today, I saw his face
It was the face I love
And I knew I had to run away
And get down on my knees and pray
That they 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 won his heart
I didn't think I'd lose
But now I see she's worse to him than me
Let him go ahead take her love instead
And one day he will see
Just how to say please

Whoa, and get down on his knees
That's how it begins
He'll feel those needles and pins
Hurtin' him, hurtin' him

Whoa, can't I stop and tell myself
It's wrong, so wrong, so wrong
Why can't I stand up Tell myself it's wrong

Because I saw him today
I saw his face it was the face I love
I can't let go, although I know
He'll make me cry until the day I die

But people I got to live now
Whoa, Lord knows I should forgive now
That's how they begin
He'll feel those needles and pins

Somebody stop em now
Stop those needles and pins
Whoa, stop 'em now
Stop those needles and pins
Somebody take'em away now
Stop 'em now
Stop those needles and pins

Stop those needles and pins, now
Oh, no, somebody take 'em away
Stop 'em now
Stop the needles and pins
