(C. Norman / P. Spencer)
Getting so sick of your silly lies,
I may have been dumb, but I'm getting wise
You really head me running babe
There was a time you'd looked at me and hypnotise

Feel hung up and you bring me down
Gets to deep and I start to frown
You know what, you're not so hot
'Cause baby I've been trough it
And you only do the things you do
To prove that you can do it

Oh, set me free, I got to see
The other side of the road
Oh, let me go, I got to know
The other side of the road
The other side of the road

Burning up and I don't know why
Got to cut loose and I got to try
I can't stay with you forever
Got a lot of things to do before I die

Getting so tired of the state I'm in
Need a new life, let it all beginn
I've had all I can take of you
I'm sick of your deceiving
And it doesn't matter what you do
'Cause baby I'm still leaving

Oh, set me free, I got to see
The other side of the road
Oh, let me go, I got to know
The other side of the road
The other side of the road

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 they'd go away,
And still they begin,
Needles and pins,
Because of all my pride,
The tears I gotta hide.

Oh, thought I was smart,
I'd won a heart,
Didn't think I do,
But now you see,
She's worse to him and me,
Let her go ahead,
And take this love instead,
And one day she will see,
Just how to say "please",
Get down on her knees,
That's how they begin,
You'll feel those needles and pins,
Hurtin' her, hurtin' her,
What can't I stop and tell myself I'm wrong, I'm wrong, so wrong,
What 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 they'd go away,
And still they begin,
Needles and pins,
Because of all my pride,
The tears I gotta hide...

Needles and pins,
Needles and pins,
Needles and pins,
Needles and pins,
Needles and pins,
Needles and pins,
Needles and pins,
Needles and pins.
