Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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 ride

For I toss and turn, I can't sleep at night

[Verse 2]

Once I ran to you (I ran)

Now I'll run from you (Now I'll run)

The tainted love you've given

I give you all a girl can 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 any love from me

To make things right

You need someone to hold you tight

And you think love is to play

Well I'm sorry, I don't play that way

[Verse 4]

Once I ran to you (I ran)

Now I'll run from you (Now I'll run)

The tainted love you've given

I give you all a girl can give you

Take my tears and that's not nearly all

Tainted love

Tainted love

[Verse 5]

Don't touch me, please

I can not stand the way you (Tease)

I love you, though you hurt me so

If I do not pack my things and go

Tainted love

Oh, tainted love

Tainted love

Tainted love
