Tainted Love [1976 Version]

[Verse 1]
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 our love's not right
For I toss and turn, I can't sleep at night

[Pre-Chorus]
Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I run from you (Now I run)
The tainted love you're giving
I gave you all a girl can give you
Take, not give
And that's not nearly all

[Hook]
Tainted love (Do-do)

[Verse 2]
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 think love is to play
Well, I'm sorry, I don't play that way

[Pre-Chorus]
Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I run from you (Now I run)
The taintеd love you're giving
I gave you all a girl can givе you
Take, not give
And that's not nearly all

[Hook]
Tainted love, tainted love

[Verse 3]
Don't touch me, please
I cannot stand the way you
I know you hurt me so
If I do not pack my things and go

[Chorus]
Tainted love, tainted love
Tainted love, tainted love
Talkin' about the tainted love
Talkin' about the tainted love
Talkin' about the tainted love
Talkin' about the tainted love
Tainted love, tainted love
Tainted love, oh yeah
Tainted love, tained love, oh ho-ho-ho
(Tainted love) Yeah, yeah
(Tainted love) Yeah, yeah
(Tainted love) Yeah, yeah
(Tainted love) Yow, yow
(Tainted love) Wow, yow, yeah
(Tainted love) Woo
(Tainted love)
