| Sometimes | |
| I feel I've got to... 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 life, | |
| For I toss 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 gave you all a boy could give you. | |
| Take my tears and that's not really all... | |
| Tainted love, ohh, 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 think love is to pray, | |
| But I'm sorry | |
| I don't pray that way. | |
| 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. | |
| Touch me baby, tainted love |
