Sometimes I feel I've got to run away
I've got to get away
From the pain that 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 (I ran)
Now I'll run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a girl could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Tainted love
Tainted love

Now I know I've got to run away
I've got to get away
From the pain that you drive
You don't really want it anymore from me
To make things right
You need someone to hold you tight
And you'll think love is to pray
But I'm sorry I don't pray that way

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

Don't touch me please
I cannot stand the way you tease
I love you though you hurt me so
But I'm going to pack my things and go!
Tainted love Tainted love
Tainted love Tainted love
Tainted love Tainted love
Tainted love

Baby, baby
Baby don't leave me
Ooh, please don't leave me
All by myself

I've got this burning, yearning
Yearning feelin' inside me
Ooh, deep inside me
And it hurts so bad

You came into my heart
Baby, Baby
So tenderly
With a burning love
That stings like a bee

Now that I surrender
So helplessly
You now wanna leave me
Ooh, you wanna leave me

Ooh, baby, baby

Baby baby
Where did our love go?
Ooh, don't you want me
Don't you want me no more
