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 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
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give
Take my tears and that's not livin'
Oh – Tainted Love – Ahhh – Tainted Love

Now I know I've got to run away
I've got to get away

‘Cos you don't really want anymore 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
Don't touch me, please
I cannot stand the way you tease
I love you tho' you hurt me so
Now I'm gonna pack my things and go

Tainted Love…
