Tainted Love

[Verse 1]
I'ma bust this story about a love so tainted
It all started out when I first got acquainted
With a fine as wine and her big behind
Yo, in other words, this girl is fine
Love is a stage, it's an act, it is not real
So when I found out, you know that I got ill
Called her up so I could say, G
"What's the big idea of trying to play me?"
I treated you good, took you out, even spoiled you
To tell you the truth, what it all really boiled to
The time that I rented a Jackson limousine
To be seen and be treated like a queen
I'm through with you, you're outta here like last year
'Cause baby doll, you done shifted your last gear
And I'ma leave it to the Man Above
'Cause see, I ain't got time for tainted love

[Chorus]
Oh, tainted love
Oh oh oh, oh, tainted love
Oh, tainted love
Oh oh oh
Oh, tainted love
Oh oh oh, oh, tainted love
(Tainted love)

[Verse 2]
In your eyes, I gave you sight and soft praise
They were lyin' when you said sweet talkin' never paid
My love is star spangled, from each and every angle
I'm inclined to intwine, mmm, and entangle
When I wake up in the morning, before the sunrise
The little visions of you dance before my eyes
You're always around, you never keep me waiting
I love you, girl, while I'm insinuating
Each hour of the day, I hope and pray
That the path to love will guide you my way
One hit of your voice, my hands get moist
What must I do to become your choice?
You're so sincere, no other girl comes near
But if you stood on the stage, all the people would cheer
And now we've come to a push and a shove
You know the reason why, it's tainted love

[Bridge]
Tainted...
Tainted...run away

[Verse 3]
Now my eyes take aim on another fine dame
But I know deep inside no other love's the same
'Cause thoughts I compile in the back of my mind
From thinking of you, girl, all the time
You're ever so cute, got me in pursuit
So what's up, baby doll? I wanna knock your boots
You're my dream so it's senseless to leave you
'Cause I'm a man who will not deceive you

[Chorus]
Oh, tainted love
Oh oh oh, oh, tainted love
Oh, tainted love
Oh oh oh
(Girl, you outta here like last year)
Oh, tainted love
Oh oh oh, oh
(A-B-see ya)
Oh, tainted love
Oh oh oh, oh, tainted love
Oh, tainted love
Oh oh oh
Oh, tainted love
Oh oh oh, oh, tainted love
