About Tainted Love

"Tainted Love", composed by Ed Cobb and firstsung by Gloria Jones, attained worldwide fame after being covered by Soft Cell in 1981, and has since been covered by numerous other groups and artists. Soft Cell's record label chose to release "Tainted Love" on July 7, 1981 as the band's second single (their first was "Memorabilia", which did not chart). The label implied that this single would be Soft Cell's final release if the single did not sell. .

Tainted Love Lyrics

[00:08.91] Sometimes I feel I've got to
[00:13.06] Run away, I've got to
[00:16.68] Get away from the pain you drive into the heart of me
[00:22.29] The love we share
[00:25.67] Seems to go nowhere
[00:28.80] And I've lost my light
[00:32.23] For I toss and turn, I can't sleep at night
[00:36.21] Once I ran to you (I ran)
[00:40.91] Now I'll run from you
[00:43.38] This tainted love you've given
[00:46.30] I give you all a boy could give you
[00:49.55] Take my tears, and that's not nearly all
[00:53.35] Oh, tainted love (oh, oh)
[00:56.95] Tainted love
[00:59.15] Now I know I've got to
[01:02.98] Run away, I've got to
[01:06.52] Get away, you don't really want any more from me
[01:12.32] To make things right
[01:15.33] You need someone to hold you tight
[01:18.38] And you think love is to pray
[01:21.74] But I'm sorry, I don't pray that way
[01:26.20] Once I ran to you (I ran)
[01:29.62] Now I'll run from you
[01:32.83] This tainted love you've given
[01:36.08] I give you all a boy could give you
[01:39.67] Take my tears, and that's not nearly all
[01:43.95] Oh, tainted love (oh, oh)
[01:46.89] Tainted love
[01:49.23] Don't touch me, please
[01:52.07] I cannot stand the way you tease
[01:54.76] I love you though you hurt me so
[01:57.95] Now I'm gonna pack my things and go
[02:02.63] Tainted love (oh)
[02:06.75] Tainted love (oh)
[02:09.94] Tainted love (oh)
[02:13.10] Tainted love (oh)
[02:16.36] Touch me, baby, tainted love
[02:20.17] Touch me, baby, tainted love
[02:23.61] Tainted love (oh)
[02:26.58] Tainted love (oh)
[02:29.35] Tainted love
[02:30.70]
