Some times

I feel I’ve got to

run a way; I’ve got to

get a way from the pain you drive

in to the heart of me.

The love

we share

seems to go

no where,

and I’ve lost

my light,

for I toss and turn.

I can’t sleep at night.

Once I ran to you.

Now I’ll run from you,

this taint ed love you’ve giv en.

I give you all a boy could give you.

Take my tears and that’s not liv ing.

Oh,

taint ed love,

taint ed love.

Now

I

know I’ve got to

run a way.

I’ve got to

get a way.

You don’t real ly want it an y more from me.

To make

things

right you need some one

to hold you tight.

And you’ll think love is to pray.

But I’m sor ry I don’t pray that way.

Oh,

taint ed love,

taint ed love.

Don’t touch me,

please; I can not stand the way you tease.

I love you though you hurt me so;

now I’m gon na pack my things and go.

Taint ed love.

Taint ed love.
