Willy DeVille - Needles And Pins lyrics

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'd go away. But still they begin, Those needles and pins Because of all my pride The tears I've gotta hide. Well, I thought I was smart, I broke her heart, Didn't think I knew but now, I see she's worse to him than me. Let her go ahead, take his love instead. And someday she will see Just how to say please. And get her on her knees, Lord that's how it begins She'll fill those needles and pins. Why can't I stop And tell myself I'm wrong, so wrong, so wrong. Why can't I stop 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'd go away. But still they begin, Those needles and pins Because of all my pride The tears I've gotta hide. Oh, those needles and pins, Those needles and pins, Oh, those needles and pins, Those needles and pins.
