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 

[Chorus] 
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 
Oh... tainted love 
Tainted love 

Now I know I've got to 
Run away I've got to 
Get away 
You don't really want it any more 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 

[Chorus] 
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 
Oh... 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 gonna pack my things and go, 
Tainted love 
Tainted love 
Tainted love 
Tainted love...

Baby, baby (baby, baby)
Baby don't leave me (ah!)
Oooh, please don't leave me (ah! Baby, baby) 
All by myself (ah! Baby, baby, ooh baby, baby)
I've got this burnin', yearnin', yearnin' (ah! Baby, baby)
Feelin' inside me (ah!)
Ooohh deep inside me (ah! Baby, baby) 
And it hurts so bad (Ah! Baby, baby, ooh baby, baby)
You came into my heart (ah! Baby, baby)
So tenderly (ah!)
With a burning love (ah! Baby, baby) 
That stings like a bee (ah! Baby, baby, ooh baby, baby)
Now that I've surrendered (ah! Baby, baby)
So helplessly (ah!)
You now wanna leave (ah! Baby, baby) 
Ooh you wanna leave me (ah! Baby, baby, ooh baby, baby)
Ooh baby, baby (ah! Baby, baby)
Where did our love go? (ah!)
Oh don't you want me (ah! Baby, baby) 
Don't you want me no more...
