you don't really want anymore from me

possibly the greatest drum work since the first guy started banging on stuff.

Sometimes I feel I've got to

Run away I've got to
Get away
From the pain 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...
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 anymore 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

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

Don't touch me please
I cannot stand the way you tease
I love you though you hurt me so
Now I'm gonna pack my things and go
Tainted love, tainted love (x2)
Touch me baby, tainted love (x2)
Tainted love (x3)

caller: hello?

[beep]

caller: over, its me... again; listen. i know you needed to duck out for a while, but you can't do this for too long. there are people that need to talk to you. i can hold them off, but only for so...

[phone line clicks over and voicemail beeps as the reciever is picked up]

overboy: [pauses and silence]

caller: hello?!

overboy: i'm getting your messages and i heard you fine the first time.

caller: but, you haven't called...

overboy: i heard you the first time; i said. now you'll get my call when you get my call.

[reciever clicks off to the phone line tone]

caller: but, i really need to talk to you...
