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
(Chorus)
Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I'll run from you
The tainted love you've given
I give you all a girl can give you
Take not give 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
Well I'm sorry I don't pray that way
(Chorus...)
Don't touch me please
I cannot stand the way you tease
I love you - I hurt me so
If I do not pack my things and go
Tainted love, tainted love (x2)
Touch me baby, tainted love (x2)
Tainted love (x3)
