Killing Me Softly
                          
                               Struming 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
  And listen for a while
  
  And there he was this young
  Boy
  A stranger to my eyes
  Struming my pain with his fingers
  Singing my life with his words
  Killing me softy 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 letter
  And read each one out loud
  I prayed that he would finish
  But he just kept right on
  
  Struming my pain with his fingers
  Singing my life with his words
  Killing me softy with his song
  Killing me softly with his song
  Telling my whole life
  With his words
  Killing me softly with his song
  
  He sang as if he knew me
  In all my darkness fair
  And then he looked right through me
  As if I wasn't there
  And he just kept on singing
  Singing clear and strong
  
  Struming my pain with his fingers
  Singing my life with his words
  Killing me softy with his song
  Killing me softly with his song
  Telling my whole life
  With his words
  Killing me softly with his song
  
  Ohhhhhhhhhhh oohhhhhhh...Lalalal..Ohhhh lalaaaaaaa
  
  Struming my pain with his fingers
  Singing my life with his words
  Killing me softy with his song
  Killing me softly with his song
  Telling my whole life
  With his words
  Killing me (softly)
  
  He was strumming my pain
  Yeah he was singing my life
  Killing me softly with his song
  Killing em softly with his song
  Telling my whole life with his words
  Killing me softly with his song
