Tainted Love
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 seem's 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 run from you
This tainted love you give it
I gave you all a girl could give you
Take my tears and that's not really
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 anymore 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
Once I ran to you
Now I run from you
This tainted love you give it
I gave you all a girl could give you
Take my tears and that not really
Oh, tainted love
Tainted love
Don't touch me please
I cannot stand the way you tease
I love you baby you maybe so
Now its time you packed 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
