Sometimes I feel Ive got to… run away,
Ive got to… get away
From the pain you drive into the heart of me.
The love we share seems to go nowhere,
And Ive lost my life,
For I toss and turn, I cant sleep at night.
Once I ran to you, now I run from you.
This tainted love youve given,
I gave you all a boy could give you.
Take my tears and thats not really all…
Tainted love, ohh, tainted love
Now I know Ive got to… run away,
Ive got to… get away.
You dont 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 Im sorry I dont pray that way.
Dont touch me please, I cannot stand the way you tease.
I love you though you hurt me so.
Now Im gonna pack my things and go.
Touch me baby, tainted love
