Tainted Love(1964) Lyrics

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 nightOnce I ran to you (I ran)
Now I'll run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Oh, tainted love
Tainted loveNow 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 wayOnce I ran to you (I ran)
Now I'll run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Oh, tainted love
Tainted love
