Sometimes I feel I've got [bad word] 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 light
And I toss and turn
I can't sleep at night

Once I ran to you
Now [bad word] from you
This tainted love you give me
I gave you all a boy could give you
Take my tears
And that's not nearly all
Tainted love
Tainted love

Now I know I've got [bad word] away, I've got to
Get away
You don't really want
Anymore from me
To make things right
You need someone
To hold you tight
And you think love is a game
But I'm sorry I don't play that way

Once I ran to you
Now [bad word] from you
This tainted love you give me
I gave you all a boy could give you
Take my tears
And that's not nearly all
Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love

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've gotta pack my things and go
Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love
