[Chorus]
Real love...True love...Tainted love
Real love...True love...Tainted love
Real love...True love...Tainted love

[Verse 1]
Think of her, think of me
Think about her since our intimacy
I'm trying to strum you like guitars in this beat
Make you sit around and she'll kick the blazey speech
Plus, you got a man but he ain't quite me,
The type of man that try to give you want you need
And he wanna know where you are, where you be,
where you going, where you stay, where you subject to be
If I was him I wouldn't even need
I would trust you when you say that you are where you be
Say he the type of nigga that's hella cheap
Take his girl on a date and they go to Mickey D's
See, I'm the type you try to stab in the jeep
Try to take you out to see things and occasionally creep
Yeah your man is doing things I can't really see
It don't sound too good
It sound tainted to me

[Chorus]
Real love (So real yeah)
True love (So right yeah)
Tainted love (So real yeah)
Real love (So good yeah)
True love (For real y'all)
Tainted love (Tainted)
Real love (So right yeah)
True love (so good girl)

[Verse 2]
How many years does it take for a record to blow?
I mean exactly how many licks it took for my ???
Spending your cash flow cause she was so out cold
Looking scandalous cause she lust for the scandals
Too much chick for that
You couldn't handle that
Well it is the same tainted love in the music business
People they lose their brain just to get up in this
Let's be a star for a day
And everything in life is just okay
People say things they don't really wanna say
Hey, but it's okay cause you a star for the day
People will smile at you when they really wanna frown
Well now that's just the way tainted folk get down
Just keep it real and nigga we'll see
When the situation is tainted, love is always free...(love is always free)

[Chorus]
Real love
True love
Tainted love (It's tainted love y'all)
Real love (So real y'all)
True love (Unh come on)
Tainted love
Real love (Yeah SV...SV)
True love (Tainted love, tainted love...)

[Verse 3]
Check it out
You said you love but is it really real
Would you fix me green tea if I'm feeling ill?
Could you give me a back rub to soothe after a long day?
Dinner by candlelight but you're the main entree.
And if so I'd do the same with other treats to give you
Trailing rose petals from your door to beneath your pillow
With a bucket of champagne on your nightstand
Experience what some women want in they life span (Real love)

[Hook]
Say...real...
Everybody wants that real love
Someone to trust in you for real
Everybody needs love that's (real)
I would never want nothing (tainted)
Wait a minute would you feel...
Faded if your loving was tatinted (true, true)
I know true love is hard to find
Just let it find you (for real)
If you find love then keep it (real)
Keep love from being tainted
Then you'll be alright (once more)
Then you'll be alright

[Chorus]
Real love (So real yeah)
True love (So right yeah)
Tainted love (So real yeah)
Real love (So good yeah)
True love (For real y'all)
Tainted love (Tainted love)
Real love (So right yeah)....
