Sometimes I feel I've got [bad word] away
I've got to get away
From the pain you drive jnto the heart of me.
fhe 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
now [bad word] from you

This tainted love you've given -
I give you all a boy could give you.
Take my tears and that's not living - oh
tainted love - tainted love.

Now I know I've got [bad word] 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
now [bad word] from you

This tainted love you've given -
I give you all a boy could give you.
Take my tears and that's not living - 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

Now I'm gonna pack my things and go. Tainted love - tainted love
