Tainted Love Lyrics
Well 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
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
Now I know I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away
You don't really want any more 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
Repeat chorus
Don't touch me please
I cannot stand the way you tease
I love you though you hurt me so
Now I'm going to pack my things and go
Tainted love, tainted love (x2)
Touch me baby, tainted love (x2)
Tainted love (x3)
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
Once I ran to you
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
Run away I've got to
Get away
You don't really want any more 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
I cannot stand the way you tease
I love you though you hurt me so
Now I'm going to pack my things and go
Tainted love, tainted love (x2)
Touch me baby, tainted love (x2)
Tainted love (x3)

great song i love it
wtf y arent ther more comments this is 1 of the best songs eva
I think it's just about a girl who uses him? I don't know what Tainted means, so that would probably tell us what the song meant. ..
Aside from that, I love the song! Especially when Lee sung it on Idol!
i expect you all know that this isn't their own song?
Yeh, I hope you guys do know this is a cover of Soft Cell.....
I havent heard their version yet.... But I bet its good!
The Soft Cell version was a cover of the origional Gloria Jones version.
there have been a lot of versions of this song and i think thins is by far the best one
This song is sooo old but when my son started to listen to it I don't know what he was thinking.....I used to dance to it back in 1981...since my son is gone/passed i can only imagine what he was thinking. About a girl who was a "friend" to her but not to him. He must have had strong feelings for her.....she is not worth it. I had told him many a times........he never got it. God rest his soul.
