Tainted Love Lyrics - Me First And The Gimme Gimmes

[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
