Sometimes I feel I've got to run away I've got to get away From the pain
There are times when I feel like escaping and running away from the emotional pain you have caused me.

You drove into the heart of me The love we share Seems to go nowhere I think I've lost my light
You have deeply hurt me, and our love seems to be going nowhere. As a result, I feel like I am losing my spark and losing hope.

For I toss and turn I can't sleep at night
I am restless and sleepless, unable to find peace 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
There was a time when I sought comfort in you, but now I avoid you because our love has become corrupt and painful. Despite everything, I gave you my all, including my tears, yet you still tainted our 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'll think love is to pray But I'm sorry I don't pray that way
I have realized that I need to leave this toxic relationship behind. You don't truly want anything from me to fix things between us. What you really need is someone to comfort you, but you have the wrong idea of what love truly is. Unfortunately, I cannot provide that comfort for you because my views on love differ from yours.

Don't touch me please I can not stand it when you tease I love you though you hurt me so But I'm going to pack my things and go Tainted love (Oh) Tainted love (Tainted love) Tainted love (Tainted love) Tainted love Tainted love!
Please don't touch me, I cannot handle your teasing behavior. Despite how much I love you, you have caused me immense pain and I have made the decision to leave you. Our love has become tainted, hence the repeated use of 'Tainted Love' in the chorus.

Baby, baby Baby, don't leave me Ooh, please don't leave me All by myself
My love, I beg you not to abandon me alone in this difficult time.

I've got this burning Yearning, yearning Feeling inside me Ooh, deep inside me And it hurts so bad You came into my heart So tenderly With a burning love That stings like a bee
My heart is aching with a fiery passion that I cannot contain. You came into my heart with love so intense it burned like a flame, but that love also brought pain and discomfort.

And now that I surrender So helplessley You Now Wanna Leave Ooh, you want to meet me
Just when I was ready to surrender to our love and let go of my guard, you have decided that you want to leave me, catching me off guard.

Baby, baby Where did our love go? Ooh there's a burning...
My love, what happened to our love? It's as if it vanished, leaving me with an unrelenting fire inside me.
