The Clash

Some is rich, and some is poor -

That's the way the world is.

But I don't believe in lying back

Say in how bad your luck is.

My Daddy was a bank robber

But not never hurt nobody

He just loved to live that way

And he loved to steal your money

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.

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.
