Ed CobbAbout
American artist Gloria Jones recorded the original version of “Tainted Love”, which was written and produced by Ed Cobb. It was the B-side of her 1965 single “My Bad Boy’s Comin' Home”, which was a commercial flop, failing to chart in either the US or the UK. Before Jones recorded the song, Cobb had...
Tainted Love Lyrics
[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
[Chorus]
Tainted love (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Tainted love
[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 tainted love you're giving
I gave you all a girl can give you
Take, not give
And that's not nearly all
[Chorus]
Tainted love (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Tainted love
[Verse 3]
Don't touch me, please (Please)
I cannot stand the way you (Tease)
I know you a-hurt me so
If I do not pack my things and go (Oh-oh-oh)
[Chorus/Outro]
Tainted love (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Tainted love (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Tainted love, oh-oh-oh-oh (Oh)
Tainted love (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Talkin' 'bout the tainted love (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Talkin' 'bout the tainted love (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Talkin' 'bout the tainted love
