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
oh...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 think love is to pray
but i'm sorry i don't pray that way
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
As attainable as where the ring of smoke
where the finger be swirling a all on it's own.
There's no point in trying, in calling you back
but taking control of the following act
I've been sensing a tension in your delay
hesitation in drawing the velvet drop
There's no way of unravelling the plot
without taking the slide in the rabbit hole with me
refrain:
Are you ready to play the game
Ready to lose it all
Sure you want to play
this tainted love
Ready to play the game
Ready to lose it all
Sure you want to play
this tainted love
Ready to play the game
Ready to lose it all
Are you sure you want to play
Should you give me a moment and let me think
I will come up with something you can't resist
demonstrating myself in a certain way
with the lighting so subtle and perfectly dim
A suggestion of mine which you will not take
is to pack your belongings and steal away
for the play is in progress and what's to come
may not be your thought of marvelous fun
at all
refrain
Take this moment, don't reason it through
Leave all caution, fall for my need
Let me see
marilyn manson versiyonunun klibinde gözlüklü mözlüklü safinaz kızın adeta mutasyona uğrayıp gotik hatun olmasını hayretler içersinde izlediğimiz şarkı.
