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
