Needles and Pins - Mono

I saw her today, I saw her 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'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 her heart
Didn't think I'd do, but now I see
She's worse to him than me

Let her go ahead
Take his love instead
And one day she will see
Just how to say please

And get down on her knees
Hey, that's how it begins
She'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 the 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, needles and pins
Needles and pins
Needles and pins
