Needles And Pins Lyrics & Chords By Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers

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 there'd come a day
And still it begins
Because of all my pride
The tears I gotta hide
Oh, I thought I was smart, I wanted her
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
A-hurtin her, a-hurtin her
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 the 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
But still they begin
Because of all my pride
The tears I gotta hide
Oh, needles and pins
