(Sonny Bono / Jack Nitzsche)
|
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",
|
Get down on her knees,
|
That's how they begin,
|
You'll feel those needles and pins,
|
Hurtin' her, hurtin' her,
|
What can't I stop and tell myself I'm wrong, I'm wrong, so wrong,
|
What 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...
|
|
Needles and pins,
|
Needles and pins,
|
Needles and pins,
|
Needles and pins,
|
Needles and pins,
|
Needles and pins,
|
Needles and pins,
|
Needles and pins.
