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 IT any more from me
To make things right
You need someone to hold you tight

And you'LL 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, tainted love (x2)
Touch me baby, tainted love (x2)
Tainted love (x3)
