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 (I ran)
Now I'll run from you (Now I'll run)
This tainted love you've given
I gave you all a girl could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all (3x)

Touch me baby, tainted love (2x)

Now I know I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away
You don't really want any love 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

Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I'll run from you (Now I'll run)
This tainted love you've given
I gave you all a girl could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all (2x)

Touch me baby, tainted love (2x)

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

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
