Tainted Love

On Valentines day you broke my heart. Having an affair wasn't too smart. Something inside me died. "Forgive me", you cried. "Without you I will fall apart" From your tainted love I have flown. You thought I wouldn't make it on my own. Now you see you were wrong. Without you I am strong. I would have left sooner had I known. I bet you wish that I was still yours. Life's so much better since I closed those doors. Life is now sugary sweet. Breathlessly swept off my feet. Captured my heart is a man who adores.
