Sometimes I feel I've got to run away
I've got to get away
From the pain
You drove 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 run from you
This tainted love you've given
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
You don't really want
Anymore 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 run from you
This tainted love you've given
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

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

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

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

And now that I surrender
So helplessly
You will not wanna leave
Ooh, you wanna leave me

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