Tainted Love
Stella Starlight Trio Karen Souza 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
And I've lost my light
For I tossed and turn I can't sleep at night
Once I ran to you
Now I 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 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 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 way
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 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
Now I'm gonna pack my things and go
Once I ran to you
Now I 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 nearly all

Sometimes I feel I've got to
At times, I experience a strong urge to
Run away
Escape from this situation
I've got to
I must
Get away
Remove myself from this place
From the pain you drive
From the hurtful feelings you cause
Into the heart of me
Emotionally affecting me deeply
The love we share
The affection we have for each other
Seems to go nowhere
Is not making any progress or leading to anything positive
And I've lost my light
I am feeling drained and unenthusiastic
For I tossed and turn I can't sleep at night
I am unable to sleep soundly and keep turning in bed
Once I ran to you
In the past, I came to you for help
Now I run from you
Presently, I avoid you and your company
This tainted love you've given
This corrupted, distorted love you have offered me
I give you all a boy could give you
I have given you everything within my ability, as a young man
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
You have made me cry, and that is just one of the many things I have endured
Now I know I've got to
I am now aware that I need to
You don't really want any more from me
I realize that you do not desire anything else from me
To make things right
To fix this situation
You need someone to hold you tight
You require another person's embrace and comfort
And you'll think love is to pray
Your idea of love involves praying
But I'm sorry I don't pray that way
Unfortunately, that is not how I understand love and relationships
Don't touch me please
Please do not come near or touch me
I cannot stand the way you tease
Your playful, mocking behavior is unbearable for me
I love you though you hurt me so
Despite your actions and words causing me pain, I still have feelings for you
Now I'm gonna pack my things and go
I have made a decision to gather my belongings and leave
Tainted love
A love that has been corrupted and ruined
Tainted love
A love that has been corrupted and ruined
