Me First and the Gimme Gimmes - Tainted Love lyrics

rate me

[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 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 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 nearly all

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
