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 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
The tainted love you've given
I give you all a girl can give you
Take not give 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 love from me
To make things right
You need someone to hold you tight
And you think love is to play
Well I'm sorry I don't play that way

Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I'll run from you
The tainted love you've given
I give you all a girl can give you
Take not give and that's not nearly all
Tainted love
Tainted love

Don't touch me please
I cannot stand the way you tease
I know you hurt me so
If I do not pack my things and go

Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love
Talk me baby Tainted love
Talk me baby Tainted love
