Smokie - Needles and Pins 1977

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 now you see
She's worth 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
That's how it begins,
you'll feel those needle and pins
Hurtin' her, hurtin' her

Why cannot stop, and tell myself
I'm wrong, I'm wrong, so wrong
Why cannot stand up,
and tell myself I'm strong
Because 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 needles and pins,
needles and pins, needles and pins
Needles and pins.
