Lyrics
I saw her today, I saw her face, it was a face I loved, and I knew
I encountered her today, saw her familiar face, a face I once loved, and realized
I had to run away, and get down on my knees and pray that they'd go away
Felt the need to escape, compelled to kneel and pray for those feelings to fade away
But still they'd begin (uh), needles and pins (uh)
Despite efforts to resist, emotional pain persists, like needles and pins
Because of all my pride, the tears I gotta hide
Due to my pride, I must conceal the tears I feel
Hey I thought I was smart, I'd won her heart
Initially believed I was clever, had won her affection
Didn't think I'd do, but now I see
Realized I underestimated the situation
She's worse to him than me, let her go ahead
She's treating him worse than me, allowing her to proceed
Take his love instead, and one day she will see
Suggesting to let him have her love instead, hoping she'll eventually understand
Just how to say please, and get down on her knees
Anticipating she will learn to plead and humble herself
Hey that's how it begins (uh), she'll feel those needles and pins
Describing the beginning of emotional pain for her, akin to needles and pins
A-hurtin' her, a-hurtin' her
Emphasizing the harm inflicted upon her
Why can't I stop and tell myself I'm wrong, I'm wrong, so wrong
Questioning why it's challenging to admit wrongdoing
Why can't I stand up and tell myself I'm strong
Expressing frustration at the difficulty of acknowledging inner strength
Because I saw her today, I saw her face, it was a face I loved, and I knew
Reiterating the encounter with her, the beloved face, prompting the need to escape
I had to run away, and get down on my knees and pray that they'd go away
Feeling the need to pray for relief, yet the emotional pain persists like needles and pins
But still they'd begin (uh), needles and pins (uh)
Continuing to describe the persistent emotional pain symbolized by needles and pins
Because of all my pride, the tears I gotta hide
Reiterating the necessity to hide tears due to personal pride
Oh needles and pins (uh), needles and pins (uh), needles and pins (uh)
Repeating the imagery of needles and pins, emphasizing the enduring emotional pain
