Music Video

Manson as he appears in the video

The video begins with Manson pulling up in a black car, with a skull and cross design on the front and lisence plate reading "goth thng", to a large house where a party is taking place that fits with the movie the song was first featured on "Not Another Teen Movie". As Manson enters the party he brings a "goth" crowd into it and even the party itself takes a "goth" like turn to it, as girls in black begin to dance with Manson and the party begins to become increasingly Manson-like rather than the sterotypical jocks and cheerleaders seen partying at the beginning of the video. The video was directed by Philip G. Atwell who is better known for his work on videos with Eminem, Dr. Dre and 50 Cent.

Lyrics

    Sometimes I feel I've got to
    Run away I've got to
    Get away
    From the pain you drive in 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 (I ran)
    Now I run from you
    This tainted love you've given
    I'll give you all a boy could give you
    Take my tears 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 more from me
    To make things right
    Need someone to hold you tight
    And you'll think love is to pray
    But I'm sorry I don't pray that way
    
    Once I ran to you (I ran)
    Now I run from you
    This tainted love you've given
    I'll give you all a boy could give you
    Take my tears and that's not nearly all
    Tainted love... oh
    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 going to pack my things and go
    
    Touch me baby, tainted love
    Touch me baby, tainted love
    Touch me baby, tainted love
    Touch me baby, tainted love
    
    Once I ran to you (I ran)
    Now I run from you
    This tainted love you've given
    I'll give you all a boy could give you
    Take my tears and that's not nearly all
    Tainted love... oh
    Tainted love
    
    Tainted love
