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 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

Once I ran to you (I ran)

Now I'll run from you (I'll run)

This tainted love you've given

I give 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 it any more from me

To make things right

You need someone to hold you tight

And you'll think love is to pray

But I'm sorry I don't pray that way

Once I ran to you (I ran)

Now I'll run from you (I'll run)

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

Oh, tainted love

Don't touch me please (don't touch me please)

I cannot stand the way you tease (can't stand the way you tease)

Don't touch me please (don't touch me please)

Well I cannot stand the way you tease (can't stand the way you tease)

I love you but you hurt me so

Now I'm gonna pack my bags and go

I'm gonna pack my things and

I'm gonna pack my things and

I'm gonna pack my things

I'm gonna pack my things and-

Go!

Don't touch me please

I cannot stand

The way you tease me...

I love you

Though you hurt me so...

Now I'm gonna pack my things

And go...

Tainted love, tainted love

Tainted love

Touch me baby, tainted love

Touch me baby, tainted love...
