Sometimes I feel I’ve got to runaway
I've got to getaway
From the pain your driving into the heart of me
The love we shared seems to go nowhere
But I lost my ride
For I toss and turn I can't sleep at night

Once I ran from you
Now I run from you
The tainted love you've given
Gave you all a boy could give you
Now take that gift and that's not really all

Now I know I've got to runaway
I've got to get away
You really don't want anymore from me
You make things right
You need someone to hold you tight
And you think love is to break
But I'm sorry but I don't play it that way

Tainted love
Don't touch me please
I can't stand the way you tease
I love you but you hurt me so
Now it's time to take my things and go
Tainted love
