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 
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 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 

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 
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 
Tainted love 

Don't touch me 
I cannot stand the way you tease 
Don't touch me 
I cannot stand the way you tease 

Ooh...Tainted love
