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
I´ve lost my lights
I toss and turn
I can´t sleep at night

Once I ran to you (I ran)
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
You think love is to pray
But I´m sorry I don´t pray that way

Once I ran to you (I ran)
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... Tained love

Don´t touch me please
I cannot stand the way you tease
I love you though you hurt me so
Now I´m going to pack my things and go
Touch me baby, tainted love
Touch me baby, tainted love
Touch me baby, tainted love

Once I ran to you (I ran)
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
