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
Just seems to go nowhere 
And I've lost my life
For 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 gave 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 love is to pray
But I'm sorry I don't pray that way

Once I ran to you
Now I 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
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

Oh, tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love

Touch me, baby 
Tainted love
Touch me, baby 
Tainted love

Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love

Touch me, baby 
Tainted love
Touch me, baby 
Tainted love 
Touch me, baby 
Tainted love 
Touch me, baby 
Tainted love

Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love
