Killing Me Softly

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 heard he sang a good song
I heard he had a style
And so I came to see him
To listen for a while
And there he was this young boy
A stranger to my eyes

Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
He's killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Just 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
But he just kept right on

Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
He's killing me softly with his song
He's telling my whole life with his words
Just killing me softly with his song

Oh-oh lalalala lala la lala
Lalalala lalalala
Doorooroo dadada lalalala
Pam para da dara  pa
Oh doo doo dadada alalala
Oh lalalala
Killing me softly with his song

Strumming my pain woah oh
He was singing my life yeah
Killing me softly with his song
Is killing me softly with his song
Is telling my whole life with his words
Is killing me softly with his song
