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 that 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
And 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
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
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
Tainted love
Don't touch me please
I cannot stand the way you tease
I love you though you hurt me so
Now it's time you pack your things and go
Tainted love
Tainted love
Touch me, baby, tainted love
Don't touch me with your tainted love
Touch me, baby, tainted love
Don't touch me with your tainted love
The tainted love
The tainted love
The tainted love
The tainted love
The tainted love
The tainted love
The tainted love
The tainted love
