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

[Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

Baby, bay
baby don't leave me
oh please don't leave me
all by myself
i've got this burning
feeling inside me
oh deep inside me
and it hurt so bad
you came into my heart
so tenderly
with burning love
that's stings like a bee
and now that I surrender
so helplessely
you now wanna leave
you wanna leave me
