Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sometimes, I feel I've got to
Run away, I've got to
Get away from the pain you drive in 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
[Verse 2]
Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I run from you
This tainted love you've given
I'll give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Tainted love
Tainted love
[Verse 3]
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
Need someone to hold you tight
And you'll think love is to pray
But I'm sorry, I don't pray that way
[Verse 4]
Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I run from you
This tainted love you've given
I'll give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Tainted love
Tainted love
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
Touch me baby, tainted love
Touch me baby, tainted love
Touch me baby, tainted love
Touch me baby, tainted love
[Verse 7]
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
Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love
