Sometimes I feel I've got to run away I've got to get away From the pain that you drive in the heart of me The love we share Seems to go nowhere And I've lost my lights I toss and turn I can't sleep at night Once I ran to you 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 Tainted love Now I know I've got to run away I've got to get away You don't really want any more from me To make things right You need someone to hold you tight You think love is to pray But I'm sorry I don't pray that way Once I ran to you 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 Tainted love Don't touch me please I cannot stand the way you tease Tainted love
