Needles and Pins (Re-Recorded) - The Searchers

I saw her today, I saw her face it was a face I love And I knew I had to run away and get down on my knees and pray that they go away 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 Didnt think I do but now I see Shes worse to him than me let her go ahead Take his love instead and one day she will see just how to save me And get down on her knees thats how it begins Shell feel those needles and pins - oh, no - oh, no Why cant I stop and tell myself Im wrong, Im wrong, so wrong Why cant I stand up and tell myself Im strong because I saw her today I saw her face it was a face I love And I knew I had to run away and get down on my knees and pray that they go away Still it begins needles and pins Because of all my pride the tears I gotta hide Hey! needles and pins needles and pins needles and pins

Never understood how she could, Mean so little to so many Why does she mean everything to me? Is it worth the pain, With no one to blame? For all of my insecurities How did I ever let you go? Questioning her good intention Jealousy's a bad invention When you push on glass, it's bound to break Even when she was defensive, It just gave me more incentive The more you squeeze, the more it slips away I never walked so far on a lonely street With no-one there for me Is it worth the pain, with no one to blame? For all of my insecurities How did I ever let you go? Accept this confession! ...I'm walking on pins and needles You're not my high possession! ...I'm walking on pins and needles My conscience is vicious! ...I'm walking on pins and needles And I'm begging forgiveness! ...I'm walking on pins and needles I never walked so far on a lonely street, With no one there for me It took too long to see her in misery And now it's clear to me That it's worth the pain, always take the blame For all your own insecurities How did I ever let you go?

There's an empty place beside me When I'm walkin' down the street That's the place where you used to walk The place where you held my hand Now I reach and all I touch is space An empty, empty place Sadness and tears, that's all you left me They're such bad souvenirs Of a love that once was, oh, so very great The greatest love Reaching all the way to the stars above And now there's not a star left in the sky And if you don't come back to me I'll die Only your embrace Can fill this empty place If I don't fill this emptiness I know that I'll lose my mind Looking out and only seeing space An empty, empty place Oh, sadness and tears, that's all you left me They're such bad, bad souvenirs Of a love that once was, oh, so very great The greatest love Reaching all the way to the stars above But now there's not a star left in the sky And if you don't come back to me I'll die Only your embrace Can fill this empty place Come back, come back, come back to me Come back and fill my empty arms I need your lovin' darling Your lips are lovin' darling

Think I'll go out to Alberta Weather's good there in the fall I got some friends that I could go working for Still I wish you'd change your mind if I asked you one more time But we've been through this a hundred times or more Four strong winds that blow lonely Seven seas that run high All those things that don't change Come what may If the good times are all gone The I'm bound for moving on I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way If I get there before the snow flies and if things are looking good You could meet me if I send you down the fare But by then it would be winter Not too much for you to do And those winds sure can get cold way out there The good times are all gone So I'm bound for moving on I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way Still I wish you'd change your mind If I asked you one more time But we've been through that a hundred times or more
