Strummin' my pain with her fingers
Singing my life with her words
Killiing me softly with her song
Killing me softly, with her song
Telling my whole life with her words
Killing me softly with her song
I heard she sang a good song
I heard she had a style
And so I came to see her
To listen for a while
And as she was this young girl
A stranger to my eyes
Strummin' 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
I felt all flushed with fever
Embarrased by the crowds
I felt she found my letters
And read each one aloud
Ooh, I prayed that she would finish
But she just kept right on
Strummin' my pain with her fingers
Singin' 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 song
