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 (ooh, ooh, ooh)
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 (now I run)
The tainted love you've given
I give you all a girl can give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Tainted love (oh-oh-oh, oh 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 thinks love is to play
Well, I'm sorry I don't play that way

Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now, I run from you (now I run)
The tainted love you've given
I give you all a girl can give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Tainted love (oh oh oh, oh oh)
Tainted love

Don't touch me please
I cannot stand the way you (tease)
I love you though you hurt me so
If I do not pack my things and go (whoa-oh oh)
Tainted love, oh tainted love (whoa-oh oh, oh oh)
Tainted love, tainted love (whoa-oh oh, oh oh)
Touch me baby, tainted love (whoa-oh oh, oh oh)
Touch me baby, tainted love (whoa-oh oh, oh oh)
