Killing Me Softly Lyrics - Roberta Flack

Strumming 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. 

Strumming 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. 

Strumming 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. 

He sang as if he knew me in all my dark despair. 

And then he looked right through me as if I wasn't there. 

And he just kept on singing, singing clear and strong. 

Strumming 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. 

Woho, la la la la la la, woho, laha, la. 

Strumming 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. 

He was strumming my pain 

He was singing my life 

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.
