Killing Me Softly

Strummin' my pain with her fingers Singin' my life with her words Killin' me softly with her song Killin' me softly with her song Tellin' my whole life with her words Killin' me softly with her song 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 Strummin' my pain with her fingers Singin' my life with her words Killin' me softly with her song Killin' me softly with her song Tellin' my whole life with her words Killin' 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 aloud, oh I prayed that she would finish But she just kept right on Strummin' my pain with her fingers Singin' my life with her words Killin' me softly with her song Killin' me softly with her song Tellin' my whole life with her words Killin' me softly with her song
