Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers 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 there'd come a day

And still it begins
Needles and pins
Because of all my pride
The tears I've got to hide

Oh, I thought I was smart
I'll hold her heart and 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
Yeah, that's how it begins
She'll feel those needles and pins
I know, I know


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
Ad I knew I had to run away
And get down on my knees and pray
Let there'd come a day

And still it begins
Needles and pins
Because of all my pride
The tears I've got to hide
Oh, needles and pins
Needles and pins
Needles and pins
