I saw her today, I saw her face
It was a face I loved, and I knew
I had [bad word] away, and get down on
my knees and pray
That they'd go away

But still they begin
Needles and pins
Because of all my pride
The tears I gotta hide

Oh, I thought I was smart, I won
her heart
Didn't think I'd do, but now you
see
She's worse to him than me
Let her go ahead and take his
love instead
And one day she will see just how to say

Please, and get down on her knees
That's how they begin
She'll feel those needles and pins
Hurtin' her, 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
