Killing Me Softly with His Song

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

And listen for a while

And there he was this young boy

A stranger to my eyes

Strumming my pain with his fingers

One time one time

Singing my life with his words

One time one time

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

But he just kept right on

Strumming my pain with his fingers

One time one time

Singing my life with his words

Two time two time

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

Yow now take me in to the brige

Ohhhh

Ohhhhhhh

Ahhhhh ah ah ah ah ah

La la la la la la woah

La ahhhh

Woah

La ahhhhh

La ahhh ahh ahhh ahh

Strumming my pain with his fingers

One time one time

Singing my life with his words

Two time two time

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

Strumming my pain

Yeah yeah hey yeh

Singing my life with his words

Baby

Killing me softly with his song
