Depeche Mode · Other Songs - Depeche Mode
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 shared seems to go no where
and i lost my light for i tose and turn i can't sleep at night
Once i ran to you (i ran) now i run from you this tainted
love you've given i gave you all a boy could give you
take my tears and thats not really all oh, tainted love, tainted love
Now i know i've got to run away i've got get away you
don't really want anymore from me to make things right
you need someone to hold you tight and you think love
is to pray well im sorry i don't pray that way
Once i ran to you (i ran) now i run from you this tainted
love you've given i gave you all aboy could give you
take my tears and thats not really all oh, tainted love, tainted love
Don't touch me please i cannot stand the way you tease
i love you but you hurt me so now i', going to pack my things and go
Tainted love, tainted love(x2)
Touch me baby tainted love(x2)
Tainted love(x3)
