Intro

Verse 1

 Some-times, I feel, I've got to,

Run a-way, I've got to,

Get a-way, from the pain,

 That you drive into the heart of me.

Verse 2

 The love we share, seems to,

Go no-where, and I've,

Lost my light, for I,

Toss and turn; I can't sleep at night.

Bridge 1

Once I ran to you, (I ran),

Now I'll run from you, (now I run).

This tainted love you've given;

I give you all a girl could give you,

 Take my tears and that's not nearly all...

Chorus 1

Oh...tainted love,

Tainted love.

Verse 3

Now I know, I've got to,

Run a-way, I've got to,

Get a-way, you don't,

Really want any love from me.

Verse 4

 To make things right, you need,

 Some-one to hold you tight, and you'll,

Think love is to play, but,

 I'm sorry; I don't pray that way.

Bridge 2

Once I ran to you, (I ran),

Now I'll run from you, (now I run).

This tainted love you've given;

I give you all a girl could give you,

 Take my tears and that's not nearly all...

Chorus 2

Oh...tainted love,

Tainted love.

Verse 5

 Don't touch me, please; I cannot,

Stand the way you tease.

 I love you, though you hurt me so,

If I do not pack my things and go.

Chorus 3

Oh...tainted love,

Oh...tainted love.

Coda

Touch me baby, tainted love,

Touch me baby, tainted love.
