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 light
For I toss and turn
I can't sleep at night
Once I ran to you
Now I'll run from you
All this tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears
And that's not nearly all
Oh, tainted love
Oh, 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'll run from you
All this tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears
And that's not nearly all
Oh, tainted love
Oh, tainted love
Oh, tainted love
Oh, tainted love
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I've traveled the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused
Take my tears
And that's not nearly all
Oh, tainted love (I've got to...)
Oh, tainted love (I've got to...)
Oh, tainted love (I've got to...)
Oh, tainted love (I've got to...)
