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 (I ran)
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
Oh...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 (I ran)
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
Oh...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 going to pack my things and go
Tainted love, tainted love
Touch me baby, tainted love
