i saw him today
i saw his face
it was a face i loved
and i knew
i had to run away
and get down on my knees and prayay
that they’d go away
but still they begin uh
needles and pins uh
because of all my pride
the tears i gotta hide
hey i thought i was smart
i’d win his heart
ah i didn’t think i’d lose
but now i see
she’s more to him than me
let him go ahead
take her love instead
and one day he will see
just how to say please uh
oh and get down on his knees uh
hey that’s how it begins uh
he’ll feel those needles and pins
hurtin’ him hurtin’ him
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 him today
i saw his face
it was a face i loved
i can’t let go
although i know
he’ll make me cry
oh whoa whoa
’til the day i die
but people
