Herman's Hermits - Needles and Pins lyrics

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'd begin (uh), needles and pins (uh) Because of all my pride, the tears I gotta hide Hey I thought I was smart, I'd won her heart Didn't think I'd do, but now I see She's worse 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 Hey that's how it begins (uh), she'll feel those needles and pins A-hurtin' her, a-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 But still they'd begin (uh), needles and pins (uh) Because of all my pride, the tears I gotta hide
