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
Once i ran to you (i ran)
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
Ooh...tainted love
Now i know 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
Once i ran to you (i ran)
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
Ooh...tainted love
Don't touch me please
I cannot stand the way you tease
