Lyrics

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 [CHORUS:] Strumming my pain With her fingers She was singing My life with her words Killing me softly With her song Killing me softly With her song Telling my whole life With her words Killing 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 out loud I prayed that she would finish But she just kept right on [CHORUS] Hoo, ooh... She sang as if She knew me, yeah In all my dark despair And then she looked Right through me As if I wasn't there But she just kept On singing strong Singing clear and [CHORUS] Strumming my pain With her fingers She was singing My life with her words (She was, she was) Killing me softly With her song Killing me softly With her song Telling my whole life With her words Killing me softly With her song [Last two verses: x2]
