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
For I toss and turn,I'cant sleep at night

Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I run from you
This tained love you've given
I gave you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and thats not nearly all
Tainted love (ohohohoh)
Tainted love

Now I've got to
Run away, I've got to
Get away
You don't realy want anymore from me
To make things right you need someone to hold you tight
And you think love is to pray
But I'm sorry I'dont pray that way

Once I ran to you. (I ran)
Now I run from you
This tained love you've given
I gave you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and thats not nearly all
Tainted love (ohohohoh)
Tainted love

Don't touch me, please!
I cannot stand the way you tease
I love you, though you hurt me so

Tainted love (ohohohoh)
Tainted love (ohohohoh)
Tainted love (ohohohoh)
Tainted love (ohohohoh)

Tough me baby! Tainted love
Tough me baby! Tainted love

Tainted love (ohohohoh)
Tainted love (ohohohoh)
Tainted love (ohohohoh)
Tainted love (ohohohoh)
