NEEDLES & PINS (Smokie)

I saw him today I saw his 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 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 him hard
Didn't think I'd do, but now you see
He's worse to her than me, let him go ahead
Take her love instead and one day he will see
Just how to say please and get down his knees
That's how it begins,
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 the face I loved and I knew
I had to run away
And get down on my knees and pray
But still they begin, needles and pins
Because of all my pride the tears I gotta hide

Needles and pins, needles and pins-ah
Needles and pins, needles and pins-ah
