NEEDLES AND PINS

by Ramones

from the album "Road To Ruin"

I saw her today, I saw her face

 It was the face of love, and I knew

 I had to run away

 And get down on my knees and pray, that they go away

 And still it begins, needles and pins

 Because of all my pride, the tears I gotta hide

 Oh I thought I was smart, I stole her heart

 I didn't think I'd do, but now I see

 She's worth 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

 Oh that's how it begins, she'll feel those needle and pins

Hurtin' her, hurtin' her

  Why can't 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, saw her today, I saw her face

 It was the face of love, and I knew

 I had to run away

 And get down on my knees and pray, that they go away

 And still it begins, needles and pins

 Because of all my pride, the tears I gotta hide

 Needle and pins

Needle and pins

Needle and pins
