(SPOKEN VERSE)
Giving someone everything
Is no assurance they'll love you back
The greatest illusion in life is believing
That the one who hurt us the most
Won't hurt us again
And that is what heartbreak has taught me
(1st VERSE)
How could you just reappear?
Been years since you've said goodbye
It's been years
What the hell has come over you
I can't help but wonder why
Tell me why, tell me why
Why me, can't you see
Can't you see
For so long I lived my life without you
Since you left me alone
Now you say you want this, you really want it
But I'm not going to let you, play this game before
(1st CHORUS)
Tainted love
You come around just when I wished you away
Tainted love
And now you have the nerve to ask me to stay
Tainted love
They'll never be no you and I
Can't you see your love is tainted
Tainted, tainted, tainted
(2nd VERSE)
Gave my all, I proved my love to you
But you turned around and said goodbye
You never told me why
Was left alone all night to cry
Won't put up with you or this drama tonight
Not tonight, not tonight
Right now, it's up to me
For so long I gave to you my love
Since left me alone
See now I don't want you, don't really need you
Now you and I could never, ever be no more
(2nd CHORUS)
Tainted love
You come around just when I wished you away
Tainted love
And now you have the nerve to ask me to stay
Tainted love
Don't ever think that you were ever worth my tears
Can't you see your love is tainted
Sometimes I feel I've got to
Run away, I've got to get away
Get away, get away, get away, get away
---BREAK---
(BRIDGE)
Don't know what you've been thinking
I don't know
When you love someone you never let them go
But yet still you believe, still you believe
You're not wrong, ooh my tainted love
(3rd CHORUS)
Tainted love
I'm telling you I'm better off all on my own
Tainted love
You can't come back to stay, you can't come back to stay
Tainted love
Don't ever think that you were ever worth my tears
Can't you see your love is tainted
Tainted love
Sometimes I feel I've got to
Run away, I've got to get away, get away
Tainted love, get away, tainted love
