Needles and Pins Songtext

von Willy DeVille

Bono-Nitzsche

I saw her today,
I saw her face,
It was the face I love
And I knew I had to run away
And get down on my knees and pray
That they'd go away.
But still they begin,
Those needles and pins
Because of all my pride
The tears I've gotta hide.
Well, I thought I was smart,
I broke her heart,
Didn't think I knew but now,
I see she's worse to him than me.
Let her go ahead, take his love instead.
And someday she will see
Just how to say please.
And get her on her knees,
Lord that's how it begins
She'll fill those needles and pins.
Why can't I stop
And tell myself I'm wrong, so wrong, so wrong.
Why can't I stop
And tell myself I'm strong.
Because, I saw her today,
I saw her face,
It was the face I love
And I knew I had to run away
And get down on my knees and pray
That they'd go away.
But still they begin,
Those needles and pins
Because of all my pride
The tears I've gotta hide.
Oh, those needles and pins,
Those needles and pins,
Oh, those needles and pins,
Those needles and pins.
