Killing me softly (with her song)
I heard she sang a good songI heard she had a styleAnd so I came to seeTo listen for a whileAnd there she was this young GirlA stranger to my eyes
Struming my pain with her fingersSinging my life with her wordsKilling me softy with her songKilling me softly with her songTelling my whole life with her wordskilling me softly with her song
I felt all flushed with feverEmbarrassed by the crowdI felt she found my lettersAnd read eachone out loudI prayed that she would finishBut she just kept right on
Struming my pain with her fingersSinging my life with her wordsKilling me softy with her songKilling me softly with her songTelling my whole life with his wordsKilling me softly with her song
She sang as if she knew meIn all my darkness fairAnd then she looked right through meAs if i wasn't thereAnd he kept on singingSinging clear and strong
Struming my pain with her fingersSinging my life with her wordsKilling me softy with her songKilling me softly with her songTelling my whole life with her wordsKilling me softly with her song
