Tainted Love
Danny Noriega Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
For I toss and turn
I can't sleep at night
Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I run from you
This tainted love you've given
Give you all a girl 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 to pray
But I'm sorry I don't pray that way
Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I run from you
This tainted love you've given
Give you all a girl could give you
Take my tears
And that's not nearly all
Tainted love
Tainted love
Don't touch me please
I cannot stand the way you tease
I love you though you hurt me so
But I'm going to pack my things and go
Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love
Baby, baby (baby baby)
Baby, don't leave me
Ooh, please don't leave me (baby baby)
All by myself (baby baby oooh baby )
I've got this burning (baby baby)
Yearning, yearning
Feeling inside me
Ooh, deep inside me (baby baby)
And it hurts so bad(baby baby ohh baby baby)
You came into my heart (baby baby)
So tenderly
With a burning love (baby baby)
That stings like a bee (baby baby ooh baby baby)
And now that I surrender (baby)
So helplessly
You will not want to leave (baby baby)
Ooh, you want to leave me (baby baby ooh baby baby)
Baby, baby
Where did our love go?
Ooh don't you want me?
Don't you want me no more?
The lyrics to Danny Noriega's song "Tainted Love" are a powerful commentary on the pain of a love that has gone awry. The opening lines express a deep sense of desperation, with the singer feeling the need to run away from the pain that his lover has brought into his life. The love that they share seems to be going nowhere, and he has lost his light in the process. He feels as though he is tossing and turning, unable to sleep at night.
The singer reflects on the past, saying that he once ran to his lover for comfort, but now he finds himself running away from her. The love that she has given him is tainted, and he can no longer endure it. He acknowledges that he has given her all that a girl could give, including his tears. Yet, even that is not enough to sustain their relationship.
As the song reaches its climax, the singer becomes more forceful in his expression of pain. He implores his lover not to touch him because he cannot endure her teasing. He loves her, but he is going to pack his things and leave. In the final lines of the song, he expresses a deep sense of longing and hurt, wondering why his lover no longer wants him.

Sometimes I feel I've got to
Every so often I feel compelled to
Run away
Escape and distance myself from you
I've got to
I must
Get away
Leave your presence
From the pain
To escape from the bitter hurt you inflict on me
You drive into the heart of me
You inflict emotional distress into my heart
The love we share
Our bonding
Seems to go nowhere
Our passion appears to be at a stand-still
And I've lost my light
I've lost my way and passion in life
For I toss and turn
I'm too restless to sleep
I can't sleep at night
I can't render myself to peaceful sleep
Once I ran to you (I ran)
I used to run towards your affection
Now I run from you
Now I run away from you
This tainted love you've given
This distorted love you've granted me
Give you all a girl could give you
I gave you my all
Take my tears
Take away my daunting tears
And that's not nearly all
You've caused me beyond just tears
Tainted love
Distorted love
Tainted love
Distorted love
Now I know I've got to
I am now aware of what I must do
You don't really want anymore from me
You have no desire for me anymore
To make things right
To correct this relationship
You need someone to hold you tight
You yearn for a close embrace
And you think love is to pray
You believe love to be a pious gesture
But I'm sorry I don't pray that way
Sadly, I don't see it that way
Don't touch me please
Please keep your hands away from me
I cannot stand the way you tease
I cannot bear your playful ways
I love you though you hurt me so
Despite you hurting me, I still love you
But I'm going to pack my things and go
I'll have to gather my bags and leave
Baby, baby
Pet name for lover
Where did our love go?
What happened to our love?
Ooh don't you want me?
Do you not have any desire for me?
Don't you want me no more?
You don't seem to desire me any more

He was sooo fantastic. He should've been on so much longer. Apparently it's impossible for anyone to win American Idol if they have any personality.

This song is on my myspace. I wish he wasn't voted off. I only started watching American Idol again because of Danny. Because he's just so unexpected and you're always wondering what sassy thing he is going to do next week.
