first time only

Verse 1:

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

A (intro riff)

But still they'd begin

Those needles and pins

Because of all my pride

The tears I gotta hide

Verse 2:

Hey, I though I was smart, I'd won 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

Verse 3:

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

C# (outro riff)

But still they'd begin

Needles and pins

Because of all my pride

The tears I gotta hide
