I don't either, though this post did get me to revisit the lyrics and I discovered a mondagreen I've been repeating for decades. The line "I love you though you hurt me so" I somehow heard as "I love you though you're ugly soul", which I always thought was a strange but kind of cool turn of phrase. "though you hurt me so" is a lot more vanilla.
Still have no idea what OP is talking about. What a medium song to revisit. Not especially good, nor remarkably bad. Just... fine.

It's a Gloria Jones song, soft cell is a cover.
I don't really get it

English is not my first language and I'm a C- at best at Internet vernacular... what part of the song do you mean?
You mean the 1960s classic song “Tainted Love” by Ed Cobb?
Marilyn Manson did it first.
How so?
I believe hes on about taint being a word for the spot between your genitals and your butt. Also known as the gooch
Finally an answer. This is why I save a post and revisit a few days later.
Tainted Love (with lyrics)
How does simply repeating the lyrics explain anything?
