Giving someone everything Is no assurance they'll love you back The greatest illusion in life is believing That the one who hurt us the most Won't hurt us again And that is what heartbreak has taught me How could you just reappear Been years since you've said goodbye It's been years What the hell has come over you I can't help but wonder why Tell me why, tell me why Why me, can't you see Can't you see For so long I lived my life without you Since you left me alone Now you say you want this, you really want this But I'm not going to let you, played this game before Tainted love You come around just when I wished you away Tainted love And now you have the nerve to ask me to stay Tainted love They'll never be no you and I Can't you see your love is tainted Tainted, tainted, tainted Gave my all, I proved my love to you But you turned around and said goodbye You never told me why Was left alone all night to cry Won't put up with you or this drama tonight Not tonight, not tonight Right now, it's up to me For so long I gave to you my love Since left me alone See now I don't want you, don't really need you Now you and I could never, ever be no more Tainted love You come around just when I wished you away Tainted love And now you have the nerve to ask me to stay Tainted love Don't ever think that you were ever worth my tears Can't you see your love is tainted Sometimes I feel I've got to Run away, I've got to get away Get away, get away, get away, get away Don't know what you've been thinking I don't know When you love someone you never let them go But yet still you believe, still you believe You're not wrong, ooh my tainted love Tainted love I'm telling you I'm better off all on my own Tainted love You can't come back to stay, you can't come back to stay Tainted love Don't ever think that you were ever worth my tears Can't you see your love is tainted Tainted love Sometimes I feel I've got to Run away, I've got to get away, get away Tainted love Get away Tainted love
