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) seems to go nowhere (ooh-ooh)
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 (I run)
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Tainted love (ooh-ooh)
Tainted love (ooh-ooh)

Now I know I've got to run away
I've got to get away
You don't really want anymore from me
To make things right (ooh-ooh) you need someone to hold you tight (ooh-ooh)
And you'll think love is to pray (ooh-ooh)
But I'm sorry I don't pray that way

Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I run from you (I run)
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Tainted love (ooh-ooh)
Tainted love (ooh-ooh)

Don't touch me please
I cannot stand the way you tease
I love you though you hurt me so
Now I'm gonna pack my things and go
Tainted love (ooh-ooh)
Tainted love (ooh-ooh)
Tainted love (ooh-ooh)
Tainted love (ooh-ooh)

You gotta touch me, touch me (ooh-ooh) with your tainted love
C'mon and touch me, touch me (ooh-ooh) with your tainted love
C'mon and touch me, touch me (ooh-ooh) with your tainted love
Tainted love, (ooh-ooh) tainted love
C'mon and touch me with your tainted love, yeah, yeah
