Sometimes I feel   I've got to run away   I've got to get away   From the pain you drive   Into the heart of me      The love that 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   And 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   And you 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      Don't touch me please   I cannot stand the way you tease   I love you though you hurt me so   Now it's time you pack your things and go      Tainted love   Tainted love      Touch me, baby, tainted love   Don't touch me with your tainted love   Touch me, baby, tainted love   Don't touch me with your tainted love      The tainted love   The tainted love   The tainted love   The tainted love      The tainted love   The tainted love   The tainted love   The tainted love
