Tainted Love
Richard Grey Lyrics

Sometimes
Sometimes
Sometimes I feel I′ve got to
Run away I've got to
Get away
Sometimes
Sometimes
The love we share
Seems to go nowhere
And I′ve lost my life
But I toss and turn I can't sleep at night
Toss and turn I can't sleep at night
Sometimes
Sometimes I feel I′ve got to
Run away I′ve got to
Get away

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Richard Grey's version of "Tainted Love" describe the struggle of a person who feels trapped in a relationship that has lost its spark. The repeated use of the word "sometimes" suggests that this feeling is not constant, but rather something that comes and goes. The person feels like they need to run away and get away from their current situation, indicating a desire to either end the relationship or take a break from it. The love they share seems to go nowhere, which can be interpreted as a lack of progress or growth in the relationship. This has caused them to lose their life, which could mean they have lost themselves or their sense of happiness and fulfillment. They toss and turn at night, unable to sleep, which is a classic sign of anxiety and stress.


Overall, the lyrics of Richard Grey's "Tainted Love" speak to the universal experience of feeling stuck in a relationship that has gone stale. The use of simple, repetitive phrases highlights the cyclical nature of these feelings and the frustration that comes with them.

@henlucho

Puuutz ! demorei meses pra achar essa música, com essa versão. AMAZING

@steelpanther9568

This is an awesome remix, synced with the female video version of Tainted Love,

Although it’s not their vocals in the audio, at least they look as if they are lip syncing the correct lyrics in time to the audio, not like some of the other music videos I’ve seen, where they seem to be singing some totally random lyrics to a totally different music track,

Thnx & well done,

♥️,✌🏼,✊🏼

@djvonbonjerry
