Sometimes I feel I've got to run away
I've got to get away from the pain you drive into the heart of me
The love we share (woh oh oh oh-oh) seems to go nowhere
And I've lost my light for I toss and turn, I can't sleep at night
Once I ran to you (I ran), now I run from you
This tainted love you've given, I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Tainted love (woh oh oh oh-oh), tainted love
Now I know I've got to run away, I've got to get away
You don't really want any more from me
To make things right you need someone to hold you tight
And you think love is to pray but I'm sorry, I don't pray that way
Once I ran to you (I ran), now I run from you
This tainted love you've given, I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Tainted love (woh oh oh oh-oh), tainted love
Don't touch me please, I cannot stand the way you tease
I love you though you hurt me so, now I'm gonna pack my things and go
Tainted love (woh oh oh oh-oh), tainted love (woh oh oh oh-oh)
Tainted love (woh oh oh oh-oh), tainted love (woh oh oh oh-oh)
Touch me baby, tainted love (touch me, tainted love)
Touch me baby, tainted love (touch me, tainted love)
Tainted love (woh oh oh oh-oh), tainted love (woh oh oh oh-oh)
Tainted love
