[Originally by Gloria Jones]
  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
  And I toss and turn
  I can't sleep at night
    Once I ran to you
  Now I run from you
  This tainted love you give me
  I gave you all a boy could give you
  Take my tears
  And that's not really
  Ooh, tainted love
  Tainted love
    Now I know I've got to
  Run 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 I run from you
  This tainted love you give me
  I gave you all a boy could give you
  Take my tears
  And that's not really
  Ooh, 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
