tainted love

O

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.
i've lost my lights.
i toss and turn i can't sleep at night.

once i ran to you (i ran),
now i'll run from you.
this tainted love you've given,
i gave 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 (i ran),
now i'll run from you.
this tainted love you've given,
i gave 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...
i love you though you hurt me so,
now i'm going to pack my things and go.
touch me baby, tainted love...
touch me baby, tainted love...
touch me baby, tainted love
touch me baby, tainted love..!

once i ran to you (i ran),
now i'll run from you.
this tainted love you've given,
i gave you all a boy could give you.
take my tears and that's not nearly all!
tainted love...
tainted love...
tainted love...
tainted love..!
