Killing Me Softly With His Song

Stroming 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 him
and listen for a while
and there he was this young boy
a stranger to my eyes
Stroming 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 felt all flushed with fever
embaressed by the crowd
I felt he found my letters and them out loud
I prayed that he would finish
but he just kept right on
Stroming 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 sang as if he knew me
In all my darkest
And then he looked right through me
as if I weren’t there
And he just kept on singing
singing clear and strong
Stroming 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
o-o-o-oh lalalalalala
la la la la la la la la o-oh lalala
yeah yeah
la la la
He was stroming my pain
yeah he was singing my life
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
