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 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 run from you
This tainted love you've given
I've given all a boy can give
You take my tears, and that's not nearly all
Tainted love (oh)
Tainted love
Don't touch me, please (oh)
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 run from you
This tainted love you've given
I've given all a boy can give
You take my tears, and that's not nearly all
Tainted love (oh)
Tainted love
Don't touch me, please (oh)
Tainted love
Tainted love (oh)
Tainted love
Don't touch me, please (oh)
Tainted love
