Sometimes I feel I've got to run away - I've got to get away From the pain that 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
(Chorus:)
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
(Chorus:)
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 (4x) Touch me baby, tainted love (2x) Tainted love (3x)
