Killing Me Softly

Strummin' my pain with her fingers
 Singin' my life with her words
 Killin' me softly with her song
 Killin' me softly with her song
 Tellin' my whole life with her words
 Killin' me softly with her song
 ♪
 I heard she sang a good song
 I heard she had a style
 And so I came to see her
 To listen for a while
 And there she was this young girl
 A stranger to my eyes
 Strummin' my pain with her fingers
 Singin' my life with her words
 Killin' me softly with her song
 Killin' me softly with her song
 Tellin' my whole life with her words
 Killin' me softly with her song
 I felt all flushed with fever
 Embarrassed by the crowd
 I felt she found my letters
 And read each one aloud, oh
 I prayed that she would finish
 But she just kept right on
 Strummin' my pain with her fingers
 Singin' my life with her words
 Killin' me softly with her song
 Killin' me softly with her song
 Tellin' my whole life with her words
 Killin' me softly with her song
