Artist: soft cell
Song: tainted love
Album: Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret
Year: 1981
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 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 living - 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 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 that way
Once I ran to you
now I'll run from you
. . .
Don't touch me please - I cannot stand the way you tease.
I love you though you hurt me so
Now I'm gonna pack my things and go. Tainted love - tainted love
