where can you get it?
soft cell - tainted love
marilyn manson - tainted love

lyrics: sometimes i feel i've got to
run away, i've got to
get away
from the pain that you drive into the heart of me
the love we share
seems to go nowhere
and i've lost my light
for i toss and turn, i can't sleep at night

once i ran to you
i ran
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

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
i ran
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 going to pack my things and go

tainted love, tainted love
tainted love, tainted love
touch me baby, tainted love
touch me baby, tainted love
tainted love
tainted love
tainted love
