Lyrics

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
Now I’ll run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a girl could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Tainted love
Tainted love
Now, I know 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 run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a girl could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love
Don't touch me, please, I can’t stand the way you tease
I love you though you hurt me so
Now I'm gonna pack my things and go
Tainted love Tainted love
Tainted love Tainted love
Tainted love Tainted love
Tainted love Tainted love
Don't touch me, please, I cannot stand the way you tease
You hurt me so I'm gonna pack my things and go
Tainted love
Tainted love
