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

now I 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

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

Once I ran to you

now I 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

tainted love

tainted love

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

tainted love

tainted love

tainted love

tainted love

Touch me baby, tainted love

touch me baby, tainted love

tainted love

tainted love
