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 mind
Now I toss and turn, I can't sleep at night

Once I ran to you
Now I 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 that love's a gain
But I'm sorry, I don't play that way

Once I ran to you
Now I 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 but you hurt me so
So I got to pack my things and go

Once I ran to you
Now I 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 with your tainted love
Don't touch with your tainted love
Don't touch with your tainted love
Don't touch with your tainted love
