Jackie DeShannon - Needles And Pins

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-ay-ay

That they'd go away

But still they begin

Needles and pins, ah

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 and 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, ah

He'll feel those needles and pins

Hurtin' him, hurtin' 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 should forgive now

Yea, when it begins, ah

He'll feel those needles and pins

A-hurtin' him, stop it now

Stop those needles, stop those pins

Lord, when they begin, ah

Oh, won't you hear what I say?

Somebody, take 'em away

Stop 'em now, stop 'em

Stop those needles and pins

Lord, yeah, oh, when they begin

I feel those needles and pins

Hurtin' me, hurtin' me

Stop 'em, needles and pins
