lyrics

PINS AND NEEDLES


I don’t know why I go on for hours
Sometimes I get so tired of trying
I don’t know why I can’t seem to figure out
Just what she’s feeling inside
I never know just how she’s going to act
It’s always different every time
I’m steady and I’m always predictable
Exactly what she seems to despise

Chorus:
Sometimes I feel like I’m walking on pins and needles
Around my sweet baby’s heart
She loves me all the way but sometimes I can’t say for certain
Who she’s gonna be today

I don’t know why I go on about it
Couldn’t change things if I tried
Says it’s just a phase she’s going through
Then can’t look me in the eye
I guess the truth is an elusive thing
And just might lie somewhere in between
Is she closer to the girl who says she loves me
Or the one who acts like she tolerates me

Chorus

Cause I go up with her when she’s spinning round
Bouncing around among the clouds
And down with her when she goes down
Try to save someone from sinking till you both drown

Chorus
