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 (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Seems to go nowhere (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
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 (now I run)
The tainted love you've given
I gave you all a girl can give you (oh-woah)
Take my tears and that's not nearly all

Tainted love (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Tainted love (oh)
Tainted love (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Tainted love (oh)

Now I know I've got to
Run away, I've got to
Get away, you don't really want
Any love from me (ah)
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 (Ah)

Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I run from you (now I run)
The tainted love you've given
I gave you all a girl can give you (oh-woah)
Take my tears and that's not nearly all

Tainted love (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Tainted love (oh)
Tainted love (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Tainted love

Don't touch me, please
I cannot stand the way you tease (oh)
I love you but you hurt me so
Now I'm gonna pack my things and go (ah, oh-oh)

Tainted love (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh, tainted love (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Tainted love (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh, tainted love (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Tainted love (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh, tainted love (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

Tainted love (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh, tainted love (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Tainted love (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh, tainted love (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Tainted love (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh, tainted love (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
