Imelda May

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
Touch me baby, tainted love

Tainted love

Música do Dia: Imelda May – Falling in Love With You Again

Falling in Love With You Again

Falling in love with you again
Yeah, I’m falling in love with you again
We’ve been together but it seems like forever
But I’m falling in love with you again

Yeah, I’m falling in love with you again
Seems I’m falling in love with you again
You’re my lover, my best friend, but I can’t believe what’s happening
‘Cause I’m falling in love with you again

When you put your hand in mine
Send shivers up and down my spine
Your lips taste soft once more
My heart flips when you say “We’ve come through before the dark”(?)

‘Cause I’m falling in love with you again
Yeah, I’m falling in love with you again
Oh, I loved you from the start, now I love you with all my heart
‘Cause I’m falling in love with you again
