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
Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I'll run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a girl 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 (I ran)
Now I'll run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a girl 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
Tainted love, tainted love
Tainted love, tainted love
