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
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'll 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 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
Need someone
to hold you tight
And you'll think love is to pray
But I'm sorry
I don't pray that way
Once I ran to you I ran
Now I'll 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 oh
Tainted love
<Interlude>
Don't touch me please
I cannot stand
the way you tease
I love you though
you hurt me so
Now I'm going to
pack my things and go
Touch me baby
tainted love
Touch me baby
tainted love
Touch me baby
tainted love
Touch me baby
tainted love
Once I ran to you I ran
Now I'll 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 oh
Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love
