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 light
For I tossed and turn, I can't sleep at night
[Verse 2]
Once I ran to you
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
[Verse 3]
Tainted love
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
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
[Verse 6]
Tainted love
Tainted love
[Verse 7]
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 8]
Once I ran to you
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
[Verse 9]
Tainted love
