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 And still they begin Needles and pins Because of all my pride The tears I gotta hide
Oh, thought I was smart, I'd won a heart Didn't think I do But now you see She's worse to him and me Let her go ahead And take this 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 And still they begin Needles and pins Because of all my pride The tears I gotta hide
