Lyrics:
Sometimes I feel I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away
From the pain that 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 (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
Oh, 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'll 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
Oh, 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!)
