A cover of Soft Cell’s 1981 hit single (which was a cover itself!!), “Tainted Love” was released as a single as part of the Not Another Teen Movie Soundtrack in 2001. It was also added to The Golden Age of Grotesque as a bonus track.
It was one of Marilyn Manson’s most successful singles, critical...
[Verse 1]
Sometimes, I feel I've got to run away
I've got to get away
From the pain you drive in 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
[Chorus]
Once, I ran to you, now I run from you
This tainted love you've given
I'll give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
[Post-Chorus]
Tainted love (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 more from me
To make things right
Need someone to hold you tight
And you'll think love is to pray
But I'm sorry, I don't pray that way
[Chorus]
Once, I ran to you, now I run from you
This tainted love you've given
I'll give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
[Post-Chorus]
Tainted love (Oh-oh-oh)
Tainted love
[Bridge]
Don't touch me, please
I cannot stand the way you tease
I love you, though you hurt me so
Now, I'm gonna pack my things and go
Touch me baby, tainted love
Touch me baby, tainted love
Touch me baby, tainted love
Touch me baby, tainted love
[Chorus]
Once, I ran to you (I ran), now I run from you
This tainted love you've given
I'll give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
[Post-Chorus]
Tainted love (Oh-oh-oh)
Tainted love (Oh-oh-oh)
Tainted love (Oh-oh-oh)
Tainted love
