Needles And Pins – Gary Lewis & The Playboys (originally by Jackie DeShannon)

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…
