Needle In A Haystack
The Velvelettes Lyrics

Well well, I once believed all fellas were nice
At one point, I thought that all men were good people.

But girls, listen to me, take my advice
However, I urge all women to heed this warning.

Girls, you'd better get yourselves onto my track
Ladies, it's important that you follow my advice.

'Cause findin' a good man, girls, is like findin' a (Needle in a haystack)
Finding a man who is trustworthy and kind is incredibly difficult.

What did I say, girls? (Needle in a haystack)
Don't forget what I just warned you about.

(She-doop, she-doop, la la)

Girls, those fellas are sly, slick & shy
Men can be deceptive and hard to read.

So don't you ever let 'em get you starry-eyed
Don't be blinded by their charm.

Well, you may think their love is true
You might believe that their feelings are genuine.

But they'll walk right over you
However, they will take advantage of you.

Now girls, you should know these things right off the back
It's important to be aware of these facts from the beginning.

'Cause findin' a good man, girls, is like findin' a (Needle in a haystack)
Locating an honest, decent man is a huge challenge.

What did I say, girls? (Needle in a haystack)
Remember that I warned you about this.

(She-doop, she-doop, la la)

Now girls, I say I'm tellin' you the natural facts
I'm sharing the realities that women face.

'Cause findin' a good man, girls, is like findin' a (Needle in a haystack)
Discovering a kind, trustworthy man is an enormous challenge.

What did I say, girls? (Needle in a haystack)
Pay attention to what I warned you about before.

I'm tellin' you, girls, you'd better look before you leap
Women should be cautious when it comes to relationships.

Still water sometimes runs very deep
People can be deceptive even when they seem calm and mild-mannered.

You'll be sorry when you just jump & do justice passed by love
You will regret rushing into a relationship and ignoring warning signs.

Girls, you should know these things right off the back
Women need to be aware of these things from the beginning.

'Cause findin' a good man, girls, is like findin' a (Needle in a haystack)
Finding a man who is honest and dependable is incredibly difficult.

What did I say, girls? (Needle in a haystack)
Don't forget the warning I gave you.

I say you'd better take heed (needle in a haystack)
It's important to pay attention to the advice I'm giving you.

Listen to me (needle in a haystack)
Hear me out and be cautious in your relationships.

You'd better play hard to get
You should be wary of men who come on too strong.

Or you're gonna regret The day you were born, girl When he leaves you alone, girl
If you don't play hard to get, you will regret it when he leaves you behind.

Good guys are like findin' a (needle in a haystack)
Finding a decent, reliable man is an enormous challenge.

Girls, they're like findin' a (needle in a haystack)
It's incredibly hard to locate men who are honest and good-hearted.
