Needles and Pins Lyrics

#
"Needles And Pins"
(S. Bono - J. Nitsche)
Intro (play 2x):
v v v v v v v v
first time only
Verse 1:
I saw her today, I saw her face
It was the face I loved, and I knew
I had to run away and get down on my knees and pray
That they'd go away
A (intro riff)
But still they'd begin
Those needles and pins
Because of all my pride
The tears I gotta hide
Verse 2:
Hey, I though 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
She'll feel those needles and pins, hurtin' her, hurtin' her
Bridge:
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
Verse 3:
Because I saw her today, I saw her face
It was the face I loved, and I knew
I had to run away and get down on my knees and pray
That they'd go away
C# (outro riff)
But still they'd begin
Needles and pins
Because of all my pride
The tears I gotta hide
Coda:
v v v v v v v v
C# (repeat riff from here)
Oh, needles and pins
Needles and pins
Needles and pins
(one more repeat of riff; end on C#)
