[Verse 1]
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 share
Seems to go nowhere
And I've lost my life
For I toss and turn I can't sleep at night

[Chorus]
Once I ran to you
Now, I'll 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
Oh, tainted love
Tainted love

[Verse 2]
Now, I know I've got to
Run away, I've got to
Get away
You don't really want any more from me
To make things right
You need someone to hold you tight
And you think lovе's to pray
But I'm sorry, I don't pray this way
[Chorus]
Once I ran to you
Now, I'll run from you
This tainted love you'vе given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Oh, tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love
