Killing Me Softly

I heard she

Sang a good song

I heard she

Had a style

And so I came

To see her

And listened

For a while

And there she was

This young girl

A stranger to my eyes

Strummin' my pain

With her fingers

Singin' my life

With her words

Killin' me softly

With her song

Killin' me softly

With her song

Tellin' my whole life

With her words

Killin' me softly

With her song

I felt all

Flushed with fever

Embarrassed by

The crowd

I felt she

Found my letters

And read each one aloud

I prayed that

She would finish

But she just

Kept right on

Strummin' my pain

With her fingers

Singin' my life

With her words

Killin' me softly

With her song

Killin' me softly

With her song

Tellin' my whole life

With her words

Killin' me softly

With her song

She sang as if

She knew me

In all my dark despair

And then she looked

Right through me

As if I wasn't there

But she was there

This stranger

Singin' clear and strong

Strummin' my pain

With her fingers

Singin' my life

With her words

Killin' me softly

With her song

Killin' me softly

With her song

Tellin' my whole life

With her words

Killin' me softly

With her song

Killin' me softly

With her song
