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.
Darling you gotta let me know
Should I stay or should I go?
If you say that you are mine
I'll be here 'til the end of time.
<...>
Should I stay or should I go now?
If I go there will be trouble.
An' if I stay it will be double.
