Killing Me Softly

[Intro]
Pretty baby
Wow, wow, wow, wow baby
Don't kill me softly

[Verse 1]
Well, I heard she sang a good song
I heard she have a style
And so I came to see her
To listen for a while
And there she was a young girl
A stranger to my eyes

[Chorus]
Strumming my pain with her fingers
Singing my life with her words
Killing me softly with her song
Killing me softly with her song
Telling my whole life with her words
Killing me softly with her song

[Verse 2]
I felt all flushed with fever
Embarrassed by the crowd
Thought she found my letters and read each one out loud
I prayed that she would finish
But she just kept right on

[Chorus]
Strumming my pain with her fingers
Singing my life with her words
Killing me softly with her song
Killing me softly with her song
Telling my whole life with her words
Killing me softly with her song

[Interlude]
Lalala, la, la, la
Lalala, la, la
Lalala, la, la, la
La la la
Lala la
Telling my whole life with her words
Lala la
Stana na na
Lalala, la, la, la

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

[Chorus]
Strumming my pain with her fingers
Singing my life with her words
Killing me softly with her song
Killing me softly with her song
Telling my whole life with her words
Killing me softly with her song

[Interlude]

[Verse 1]
Well, I heard she sang a good song
I heard she have a style
And so I came to see her
To listen for a while
And there she was a young girl
A stranger to my eyes

[Chorus]
Strumming my pain with her fingers
Singing my life with her words
Killing me softly with her song
Killing me softly with her song
Telling my whole life with her words
Killing me softly with her song

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
Strumming my pain with her fingers
Singing my life with her words
Killing me softly with her song
Killing me softly with her song
Telling my whole life with her words
Killing me softly with her song
