Tainted Love Lyrics

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

(chorus)

Once I ran to you (I ran)

Now I'll run from you

The tainted love you've given

I give you all a girl can give you

Take my tears and that's not nearly all

Oh...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

Well 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 - I hurt me so

If I do not pack my things and go

Tainted love, tainted love (x2)

Touch me baby, tainted love (x2)

Tainted love (x3)
