Sometimes I feel I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away
From the pain that 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
Now I'll run from you
This tainted love you've given
I gave you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Ohtainted 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

chorus

Don't touch me please
I cannot stand the way you tease
I love you though you hurt me so
Now I'm gonna pack my things and go
Tainted love, tainted love (x2)
Touch me baby, tainted love (x2)
Tainted love (x3)

Baby, baby, where did our love go?
Oh dont you leave me,
Don't you leave me no more
I've got this burnin', yearnin', yearnin' feelin inside me
Ooohh deep inside me,
And it hurts so bad
You came into my life so tenderly,
With a burning love,
That stings like a bee
And now that I'm surrounded so helplessly,
You know I believe, you wanna leave me
Oh baby, baby, where did our love go?
Oh don't you leave me,
Don't you leave me no more
