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 boy
could give you
Take my tears
and that's not nearly all
Tainted love
Tainted love
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'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
Tainted love
Tainted love
Don't touch me please
I cannot 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
Touch me baby tainted love
Touch me baby tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love
