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
(Ah!)
Yooo!
(Yeah! Yeah!)
This is Wyclef, Refugee Camp
(L Boogie up in here)
Prazrel
(Prazrel up in here! Ha! Ha!)
Lil' Base sits up there on the base
(Refugees up in here)
While I'm on this... I
got my self on this
(Ah! Ah!)
One time, one time,
(one time)
Ayo, Clef, I know I got the lyrics
I heard she sang a good song
I heard she had a style
And so I came to see her
And listen for a while
And there she was
This young gurl, stranger to my eyes
Strumming my pain with her fingers
(One time, one time)
Singing my life with her words
(Two times, two times)
Killing me softly with this song
Killing me softly with her song
Telling my whole life with her words
Killing me softly with her song
I felt all flushed with fever
Embarrassed by the crowd
I felt he found my letters
Then read each one out loud
I prayed that he would finish
But he just kept right on
Strumming my pain with his fingers
(One time, one time)
Singing my life with his words
(Two times, two times)
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!
Yo, L Boy, take it to the bridge
WHOAAAAAAAA!
OAAAAAAA OAAAAAA
HAHAHAHAA
LA LA LA LA LA LA
WHOAAAAAA
LAAAAAAAA
WHOAAAAA
LAAAAAAAAAAAAA
LA LA LA LA LA LA
LA!
LA!
Strumming my pain with her fingers
(Yes he was singing my)
(life with his 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
