Killing Me Softly

Strumming my pain with his fingers
 Singing my life with his words
 Killing me softly with his song
 Killing me softly, yeah, with his song
 Telling my whole life with his words
 Killing me softly with his song
 I heard he sang a good song
 And I heard he had a style
 And so I went to see him
 To listen for a while
 And there he was, this stranger
 There before my eyes
 Strumming my pain with his fingers
 Singing my life with his words
 Killing me softly with his song
 Killing me softly with his song
 Telling my whole life with his words
 Killing me softly with his song
 I felt all flushed with fever
 Embarrassed by the crowd
 I felt he found my letters
 And read each one out loud
 I prayed that he would finish, oh no
 But he just kept right on
 Strumming my pain with his fingers
 Singing my life with his words
 Killing me softly with his song
 Killing me softly with his song
 Telling my whole life with his words
 Killing me softly with his song
 He sang as if he knew me
 In all my dark despair
 And then he looked right through me
 As if I wasn't there, I was right there
 But he just kept on singing
 Singing clear and strong
 Strumming my pain with his fingers
 Singing my life with his words
 Killing me softly with his song
 Killing me softly with his song
 Telling my whole life with his words
 Killing me softly with his song
 I wanna be stronger
 Yeah, yeah, yeah
 Oh my, my, my
 Strumming my pain with his fingers
 Singing my life with his words
 Killing me softly with his song
 Killing me softly with his song
 Telling my whole life with his words
 Killing me softly with his song
 Killing me softly with his song
 Killing me softly with his song
 Telling my whole life with his words
 Killing me softly with his song
