Sometimes I feel I’ve got to run away 
I’ve got to get away 
From the pain that you drive in the heart of me 
The love we share 
Seems to go nowhere 
And I’ve lost my lights 
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 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 
You think love is to pray 
But I’m sorry I don’t pray that way 
Once I ran to you 
Now I’ll run from you 
This tainted love you’ve given 
I give you all a boy 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 
Tainted love
