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
