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 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'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
[Verse 3]
Tainted love (Oh)
Tainted love
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
Tainted love (Oh)
Tainted love
[Verse 7]
Don't touch me, please
I cannot stand the way you tease
I love ya though you hurt me so
Now I'm gonna pack my things and go
[Verse 8]
Tainted love (Oh)
Tainted love (Oh)
Tainted love (Oh)
Tainted love (Oh)
[Verse 9]
Touch me, baby, tainted love
Touch me, baby, tainted love
Tainted love (Oh)
Tainted love (Oh)
Tainted love
Tainted love
[Verse 10]
Baby, baby, where did our love go?
Ah, don't you leave me
Don't you leave me no more
I've got this burnin', yearnin', yearnin'
Feelin' inside me, ooh, deep inside me
And it hurts so bad
[Verse 11]
You came into my life so turn and leave
With a burning love that stings like a bee
And now that I'm surrounded so helplessly
You know I believe you wanna leave me
[Verse 12]
Oh, baby, baby, where did our love go?
Oh, don't you leave me
Don't you leave me no more
Oh, baby, baby, where did our love go?
Oh, don't you leave me
Don't you leave me no more
[Verse 13]
You came into my life so turn and leave
With a burning love that stings like a bee
And now that I'm surrounded so helplessly
You know I believe that you wanna leave me
[Verse 14]
Oh, baby, baby, la-la-la-la-la
Oh, baby, baby, don't you leave me no more
Oh, I got this burnin', yearnin', yearnin'
Feelin' inside me, ooh, deep inside me
And it hurts so bad
[Verse 15]
Baby, baby, baby, where did our love go?
Don't you leave me
Don't you leave me no more
[Verse 16]
And now that I'm surrounded so helplessly
You know I believe you wanna leave me
Oh, baby, baby, where did our love go?
Where did our love go?
Where, where, where?
[Verse 17]
Now that I'm surrounded, oh, so helplessly
You know I believe that you wanna leave me
Baby, where did our love go?
Where did our love go?
Where, where, where?
[Verse 18]
Baby, baby, where did our love go?
Oh, don't you leave me
Don't you wanna leave me
[Verse 19]
I've got this burnin', burnin', yearnin'
Feelin' inside me, ooh, deep inside me
And it hurts so bad
[Verse 20]
Baby, baby
