Tainted Love

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'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 give you all a girl 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
'Cause you don't need me anymore
For me to make things right
You need someone to hold you tight
And you'll 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 give you all a girl could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Tainted love, tainted love
Don't touch me, please, I cannot stand the way you tease

I love you though you hurt me so
Now it's time you pack your things and go
Tainted love, tainted love
Touch me, baby, tainted love
Don't touch me with your tainted love
Touch me, baby, tainted love
Don't touch me with your tainted love
Tainted love, tainted love
Tainted love, tainted love
Tainted love, tainted love
Tainted love

(Tainted, oh)
