Well sometimes I feel I've got to
Runaway
I've got to
Get away
From the pain you driving to love me
The love we shared
Seemed to go no where
And I 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 give you all a boy can give you
Take my tears and thats not nearly all!
Well sometimes I feel I've got to
Runaway
I've got to
Get away
From the pain you driving to love me
The love we shared
Seemed to go no where
And I 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 give you all a boy can give you
Take my tears and thats not nearly all!
Tainted Love (whoaoh)
Tainted Love
Now I know I've got to
Runaway
I've got to
Get away
You don't really want anymore from me
To make things right
You need someone to hold you tight
And they say love is to play
Well I'm sorry I don't play that way
Once I ran to you
Now I run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy can give you
Take my tears and thats not nearly all!
Tainted love (whoaoh)
Tainted love
(Alright!)
Don't touch me please
I cannot stand the way you tease
And I love you though you hurt me so
So I'm gonna pack my things and go
The love we shared
Seemed to go no where
And I 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 give you all a boy can give you
Take my tears and thats not nearly all!
Tainted Love (whoaoh)
Tainted Love (whoaoh)
Tainted Love (whoaoh)
Tainted Love
