Killing Me Softly Lyrics - Lauryn Hill

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 

And listen for a while 

And there he was this young boy 

A stranger to my eyes 

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 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 

(One time, one time) 

Singin' 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 

I said whoa oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh 

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, la, la, la, whoa 

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ohla, la, la 

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, whoa 

Oh, oh, oh, la, la, la, la, la 

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la 

Strummin' my pain with his fingers 

(Yes he was) 

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
