Lyrics Needles and Pins (feat. Stevie Nicks) [Live at The Forum, 1981] - Stevie Nicks , Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

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 there'd come a day

And still it begins
Needles and pins
Because of all my pride
The tears I gotta hide

Hey, I thought I was smart
I won her heart, I 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
Are 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?

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 there'd come a day

And still it begins
Needles and pins
Because of all my pride
The tears I gotta hide

Oh, needles and pins
Needles and pins
Needles and pins
(We had love)
