"Tainted Love" lyrics

Jools Holland & Marc Almond Lyrics

"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
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Seems to go nowhere
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
And I've lost my light
For I toss and turn, I can't sleep at night

Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I run from you (I run)
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all

Tainted love
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Tainted love
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)

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
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
You need someone to hold you tight
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
And you think love is to pray
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
But I'm sorry, I don't pray that way

Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I run from you (I run)
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all

Tainted love
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Tainted love
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)

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
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Tainted love
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)

Tainted love
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Tainted love
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)

You gotta touch me
Touch me with your tainted love
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Come on and touch me
Touch me with your tainted love
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)

Tainted love
Tainted love
Come on
Touch me with your tainted love, yeah, yeah
