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, but I lost my right
For I toss and turn, I can't sleep at night

Once I ran to you, now i run from you
The tainted love you've given
I gave you all a boy you could give you
Now take that, give that, that's not nearly all

Now I know I've got to run away, I've got to get away
You really don't want any more from me
To make things right, you need someone to hold you tight
And you think to love is to break
But I'm sorry but I don't play that way

Once I ran to you, now i run from you
The tainted love you've given
I gave you all a boy you could give you
Now take that, give that, that's not nearly all
Not nearly all

Sometimes I feel I've got to run away, I've got to
Get away from the pain you drive into the bitter heart of me
The love we share seems to go nowhere, and I lost my faith
But I toss and turn, I can't sleep at night

Once i ran to you, now i'm over you
The tainted love you've given
I gave you all a boy you could give you
Now take not give, 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 it's time to take my things and go
Tainted love, tainted love, tainted love (tainted love)
Tainted love (tainted love)
