Lyrics

Killing Me Softly with His Song

[Chorus]

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

[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, a young boy

Stranger to my eyes

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

I felt all flushed with fever

Embarrassed by the crowd

I felt he found my letters

And read each onе out loud

I prayed that he would finish

But he just kеpt right on

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

He was strumming my pain with his fingers

Singing my life with his song

Killing—
