Tainted Love Lyrics
Sometimes I felt
I had to run away
I had to get away
From the pain
You drove into the heart of me
The love we shared
Seemed to go nowhere
And I lost my light
For I tossed and turned
I couldn't sleep at night
Once I ran to you
Now I run from you
This tainted love you've given
I gave 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 say
Love is to pray
But I'm sorry
I don't pray that way
I had to run away
I had to get away
From the pain
You drove into the heart of me
The love we shared
Seemed to go nowhere
And I lost my light
For I tossed and turned
I couldn't sleep at night
Once I ran to you
Now I run from you
This tainted love you've given
I gave 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 say
Love is to pray
But I'm sorry
I don't pray that way
Once I ran to you
Now I run from you
This tainted love you've given
I gave 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
But now I'm going to pack my things and go
Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love
Touch me baby
Tainted love
Touch me with your
Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love
Now I run from you
This tainted love you've given
I gave 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
But now I'm going to pack my things and go
Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love
Touch me baby
Tainted love
Touch me with your
Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love
About
This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation
An arrangement for Coil’s version of “Tainted Love” was heavily changed in contrary to Soft Cell’s version, slowed down to the point when it gives a terrifying impression. Beside from synthesizer and percussion parts, Balance sings in a capella approach, giving one of his “most harrowing vocal performances”.
