Killing Me Softly With His Song

[Chorus]
Strumming my faith 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 this young boy
A stranger to my eyes

[Chorus]
Strumming my faith 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 one out loud
I prayed that he would finish
But he just kept right on

[Chorus]
Strumming my faith 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 4]
He sang as if he knew me
Into my dark despair
But then he looked right through me
As if I wasn't there
I prayed that he would finish
But he just kept right on

[Chorus]
Strumming my faith 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

[Bridge]
Ohhh ohhh ohhh
Ohhh ohhh ohhh ohhh ohhh ohhh ohhh
La la la, la aaah, aaah aaah
La la la, la aaah, aaah aaah
La aaah aaah

[Chorus]
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Oh, singing La-la
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
