Tainted Love (1976 Recording) Songtext
von 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 that looks′ not right
For I toss and turn, I can't sleep at night

Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I'll run from you (now I run)
The tainted love you′re givin′
I gave you all a girl can give ya
Take my fear then, that's my baby
Oh, tainted love


Now I know I′ve got to
Run away, I've got to
Get away
You don′t really want any love from me
To make things right
You need someone to hold you tight
And who think love is to play
Well, I'm sorry I don′t play that way

Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I run from you (now I run)
The tainted love you're givin'
I gave you all a girl can give ya
Take my tear then, that′s not really
Oh, tainted love
Tainted love

Don′t ask me please
I cannot stand the way you tease
I know you hurt me so
If I do not pack my things and go

Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love
Talking about the tainted love
Talking about the tainted love
Talking about the tainted love
Talking about the tainted love


Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love, oh yeah
Tainted love
Tainted love, oh-oh
Tainted love, yeah
Tainted love, yeah, yeah
Tainted love, yeah, yeah, yeah
Tainted love, oh, yeah, yeah
Tainted love, tainted love
