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
