Sometimes I feel I've got to, Run away, I've got to, Get away from the pain you drive in the heart of me, The love we share, Seems to go nowhere, And I've lost my light, For I toss and turn, Can't sleep at night, Once I ran to you, (I ran) Now I run from you, This tainted love you given, I give you all a girl 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, Y' don't really want anymore from me to make, Things right, Need someone, To hold you tight, Ya think, Love is to play, But I'm sorry I don't play that way,
Once I ran to you, (I ran) Now I run from you, This tainted love you given, I give you all a girl 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, I love you though you hurt me so, And now I'm gonna pack my things and go! Tainted love, Tainted love, Tainted love, Tainted love! Once I ran to you! (I ran) Now I run from you! This tainted love you've given! I give you all a girl could give you! Take my tears and that's not nearly all! Tainted love, Tainted love, Tainted love, Tainted love.
