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 right
For I toss and turn, I can't sleep at night
Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I run from you (Now I run)
The tainted love you're giving
I gave you all a girl can give you
Take not give and that's not nearly all
Tainted love (Oh)
Tainted love
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 who think love is to pray
Well I'm sorry, I don't pray that way
Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I run from you (Now I run)
The tainted love you're giving
I gave you all a girl can give you
Take not give and that's not nearly all
Tainted love (Oh)
Tainted love
Don't touch me please
I cannot stand the way you (Tease)
I know you will hurt me so
If I do not pack my things and go (Oh)
Tainted love (Oh)
Oh, tainted love (Oh)
Tainted love, oh
Tainted love (Oh)
