Tainted Love

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 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 living.

Oh, tainted love,

tainted love.

Now I know I've got to

run away.

I've got to

get away.

You don't really want it anymore from me.

To make things right you need someone

to hold you tight.

And you'll think love is to pray.

But I'm sorry I don't pray that way.

Oh, 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 gonna pack my things and go.

Tainted love.

Tainted love.
