Tainted Love

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
Oh, 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
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you

Take my tears
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
But, I'm sorry, I don't pray that way

Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I'll 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!
Oh, 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 going to pack my things and go!

Tainted love!
Tainted love!

Touch me, baby, tainted love
Touch me, baby, tainted love
Tainted love, oh

Tainted love!
Tainted love!
Tainted love!
Tainted love!
