Strummin my pain with his fingers
Singin 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
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
Strummin my pain 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
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
Strummin my pain with his fingers
Singin 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
He sang as if she knew me
In all my dark despair
And then he looked right through me
As if I wasnt there
And he just kept on singin
Singin clear and strong
Strummin my pain with his fingers
Singin 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
Oh...oh...oh...oh...oh...oh...oh...oh...oh...oh...
La-la-la-la-la-la ho...ho...ho...oh...ho...ho...
La...ha...la...
Strummin my pain with his fingers
Singin 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
He was strummin my pain
Yeah, he was singin my life
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me with his song
