Album: The Singles 1981-1985

Tainted Love

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

Once I ran to you, now I run from you
This tainted love you´ve given
I gave you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that´s not really all
Tainted love, ohh, tainted love

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 love is to pray
But I´m sorry I don´t pray that way

Once I ran to you, now I run from you
This tainted love you´ve given
I gave you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that´s not really all
Tainted love, ohh, 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

Ohh, tainted love (repeat)

Touch me baby, tainted love (repeat & fade out)
