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 lights
I toss and turn
I can't sleep at night


Once I ran to you
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
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

You think love
Is to pray
I'm sorry

I don't pray
That way


Once I ran to you
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

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 going to pack

My things and go
Touch me baby
Tainted love

Touch me baby
Tainted love
Touch me baby

Tainted love

Once I ran to you

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
Tainted love

Tainted love
Tainted love
