Smokie - Needles and pins Lyrics

I saw her today, I saw her face.
It was a 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, I thought I was smart, I won her heart.
Didn't think I'd do, but now you see,
She's worse to him than me.
Let her go ahead and take his love instead.
And one day she will see just how to say -

Please, and get down on her knees.
That's how they begin.
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 a 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.
Needles and pins.
