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
Seems to go nowhere
And I've lost my light
And 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 me
I gave you all a boy could give you
Take my tears
And that's not really
Ooh, 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 a game
But I'm sorry I don't play that way
Once I ran to you
Now I run from you
This tainted love you give me
I gave you all a boy could give you
Take my tears
And that's not really
Ooh, tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love
Don't touch me, please
I cannot stand the way you tease
I love you though you hurt me so
Now i've gotta pack my things and go
Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love
