Lauryn Hill - Killing Me Softly Lyrics

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 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, 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
(One time, one time)
Singin' my life with his words
(Two times, two times)
Killing me softly with his song, killing 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 oh la 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
