Well 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 shared, seems to go, nowhere,

and I've lost my life, for I toss and turn, I can't sleep at night.



Once I ran to you,

now i 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 nearly all.



Well 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 shared, seems to go, nowhere,

and I've lost my life, for I toss and turn, I can't sleep at night.



Once I ran to you,

now i 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 nearly all.

tainted love, oh oh oh, tainted love.



And now, I know, I've got to,

run away, I've got to, get away,

you don't really want anymore from me,

to make, things right, you need someone to hold you tight,

and they say love is to pray, but I'm sorry I don't pray that way.



Once i ran to you

now i 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 nearly all.

tainted love, oh oh oh, tainted love.

alright!



Don't touch me please, I cannot stand the way you tease,

and I love you though you hurt me so,

so I'm gonna pack my things and go!

the love we shared, seems to go, nowhere,

and I've lost my life, for I toss and turn, I can't sleep at night.



Once I ran to you,

now i 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 nearly all.

tainted love, oh oh oh, tainted love.
