Strumming my pain
with his fingers
singing my life
with his words
Killing me softly
with his song
killing me softly
yeah this song
Telling my whole
life with his words
killing me softly
oh with his song
Ooh wooh eah
woo woo woo woo
woo woo hoo yeah
I heard he sang a
good song I heard
he had a style
And so I went to
see him to listen
for a while
And there he was
this stranger there
before my eyes
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
I felt all flushed with
fever embarrassed
by the crowd
I felt he'd found my
letters and read
each one out loud
I prayed that he would
finish oh no but he
just kept right on
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 sang as if he
knew me in all
my dark despair
And then he looked
right through me as
if I wasn't there
I was right there
But he just kept on
singing singing clear
and strong ooh
Singing I should
have been stronger
killing me softly
telling my whole life
Softly
with his song
Woah woah oh oh oh
I want to be stronger
La la la la la la la la
oooh yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah eah yeah
Yeah oh my my my my
my my my my my
yes he was
wish I was stronger
Killing me softly
with his song
Telling my telling my
whole life every day
I remember
with his song
Yeah ooh hoo
yeah yeah
I still remember
Killing me softly
with his song
telling my whole life
Killing me softly
with his song
