Lyrics:

SMOKIE
Needles And Pins
(Sonny Bono / Jack Nitzsche)

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 theyd go away,
And still they begin,
Needles and pins,
Because of all my pride,
The tears I gotta hide.

Oh, thought I was smart,
Id won a heart,
Didnt think I do,
But now you see,
Shes worse to him and me,
Let her go ahead,
And take this love instead,
And one day she will see,
Just how to say please,
Get down on her knees,
Thats how they begin,
Youll feel those needles and pins,
Hurtin her, hurtin her,
What cant I stop and tell myself Im wrong, Im wrong, so wrong,
What cant I stand up, and tell myself Im strong.

Because 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 theyd go away,
And still they begin,
Needles and pins,
Because of all my pride,
The tears I gotta hide...

Needles and pins,
Needles and pins,
Needles and pins,
Needles and pins,
Needles and pins,
Needles and pins,
Needles and pins,
Needles and pins.
