Killing me softly with this song, killing me softly with this song
Telling my whole life with his words, killing me softly with this song
I heard he had 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
Killing me softly with this song, killing me softly with this song
A stranger to my eyes
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with this song, killing me softly with this song
Telling my whole life with his words, killing me softly with this song
Telling my whole life with his words, killing me softly with this song
I felt all flushed with fever
Embarrassed by the fact
I felt he found my letters
And read each one out loud
I prayed that he would finish
But he just kept writing
Strumming my pain with his words, killing me softly with this song
I heard he had a good song
And there he was, this young boy
Killing me softly with his words, killing me softly with this song
Killing me softly with his words, killing me softly with this song
Telling my whole life with his words, killing me softly with this song
He sang as if he knew me
In all my darkest fears
And then he looked right through me
As if I wasn't there
And he just kept on singing
Singing clear and strong
Strong in my faith
Singing
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life
His words killing me softly
With his song
Killing me with his song
Killing me with his song
Killing me with his song
La la la
La la la
OooooDean
La, la, la
La, la, la
He was coming my way
Yeah, he was singing in my life
Killing me softly with this song
Killing me softly
With this song telling my whole life
This world's killing me softly
With this song
With this song
