Needles And Pins (Sonny Bono / Jack Nitzsche)

I saw her today, I saw her face
It was the face I love, and I knew
I had to run away
And get down on my knees and pray
That they go away
And still it begins
Needles and pins
Because of all my pride
The tears I gotta hide
Oh I thought I was smart
I stole her heart
I didn't think I'd do
But know I see
She's worth to him then 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
Oh 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

Needles and pins
Needles and pins
Needles and pins
