Lyrics

Killing Me Softly With His Song (Live From MCM)

[Hook:]

Strumming 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

[Intro:]

Y'all didn't know Refugees was up in here

One time, Refugees up in here

We gon' do it like this

One time

We in the house

I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style

And so I came to see him and listen for a while

And there he was this young boy, a stranger to my eyes

[Can It Be All So Simple sample]

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...

[CLEF:]

Yo L-Boogie, take it to the bridge

[Fading:]

Strumming my pain

Singing my life with his words

Killing me softly with his song
