Killing Me Softly

I heard she sang a good song

I heard she had a style

And so I came to see her

Listen for a while

And there she was this young girl

A stranger to my eyes

Strumming my pain with his fingers

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, yeah-yeah

I prayed that she would finish

But she just kept right on

Strumming my pain with her fingers

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

Oh, oh-whoa

Oh-ooh-whoa, ooh-woah, ooh-whoa

La-la-la, la-la

Oh-oh-oh, la, la-ah-ah, ah

Strumming my pain with her fingers

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
