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
Your driving into the heart of me
The love we shared
Seems to go nowhere
And I lost my ride
For I toss and turn
Can't sleep at night
Once I ran to you
Now I run from you
The tainted love you've given
I gave you all a girl could give ya
Now take that give that
That's not livin'
Ahh
Tainted love
Tainted love
Now I know I've got to run away
I've got to get away
You really don't want anymore from me
You make things right
You need someone to hold you tight
And you think love is to pray
But I'm sorry but I don't pray that way
Once I ran to you
Now I run from you
The tainted love you've given
Gave you all a girl could give ya
Now take that give that
That's not livin'
Ahh
Tainted love
Tainted love
Don't touch me please
I cannot stand the way you tease
I love you although you heart me so
Now it's time to take my things and go
Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love
