Tainted Love Songtext / Lyric

Sometimes I feel I've got to

Run away I've got to

Get away

From the pain that 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

This tainted love you've given

I gave you all a boy could 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

But 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 though you hurt me so

Now I'm gonna pack my things and go, things and go(3x)

...

Tainted love, tainted love (3x)...

Run away i've (3x)...

Need someone (4x)...

(interlude)

Tainted Love (4x)

Touch me baby, tainted love (x2)

Tainted love (x4)
