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 life, for I toss and turn I can’t sleep at night

Once I ran to you, now I 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

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, now I 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

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 gonna pack my things and go

Tainted love, tainted love, tainted love, tainted love

Touch me baby tainted love, touch me baby tainted love

Tainted love, tainted love, tainted love, tainted love
