Killing Me Softly with His Song lyrics

[Chorus]
Strummin' my pain with his fingers
Singin' my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Tellin' my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song

[Verse 1]
I heard he sang a good song
I heard he had a style
And so I came to see him
To listen for a while
And there he was, this young boy
A stranger to my eyes

[Chorus]
Strummin' my pain with his fingers
Singin' my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Tellin' my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song

[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Strummin' my pain with his fingers
Singin' my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Tellin' my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song

[Verse 3]
He sang as if he knew me
In all my dark despair
And then he looked right through me
As if I wasn't there
And he just kept on singin'
Singin' clear and strong

[Chorus]
Strummin' my pain with his fingers
Singin' my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Tellin' my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song

[Bridge]
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
La-la-la, la-la
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh
La-ah, ah, la
La, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
[Chorus]
Strummin' my pain with his fingers
Singin' my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Tellin' my whole life with his words
Killing me softly

[Outro]
He was strummin' my pain
Yeah, he was singin' my life
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Tellin' my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
