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 run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears
And thats 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 anymore 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 thats 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
But i'm going to pack my things and go

Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love

Touch me baby tainted love,
Touch me baby tainted love,
Touch me baby tainted love,
Touch me baby tainted love!

Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love
