Sometimes I feel I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away
From the pain that 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
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a girl could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
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 any more 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
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a girl could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
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
But I'm gonna pack my things and go
Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love...

Baby, baby (baby, baby)
Baby don't leave me (ah!)
Oooh, please don't leave me (ah! Baby, baby)
All by myself (ah! Baby, baby, ooh baby, baby)
I've got this burnin', yearnin', yearnin' (ah! Baby, baby)
Feelin' inside me (ah!)
Ooohh deep inside me (ah! Baby, baby)
And it hurts so bad (Ah! Baby, baby, ooh baby, baby)
You came into my heart (ah! Baby, baby)
So tenderly (ah!)
With a burning love (ah! Baby, baby)
That stings like a bee (ah! Baby, baby, ooh baby, baby)
Now that I've surrendered (ah! Baby, baby)
So helplessly (ah!)
You now wanna leave (ah! Baby, baby)
Ooh you wanna leave me (ah! Baby, baby, ooh baby, baby)
Ooh baby, baby (ah! Baby, baby)
Where did our love go? (ah!)
Oh don't you want me (ah! Baby, baby)
Don't you want me no more...
