Strummin my pain with his fingers
Singin my life with his words
Killin me softly with his song
Killin me softly with his song telling my whole life

with his words killin me softly with his song
I heard he sang a good song
I heard he had a sytle
And so i came to see him and listen for a while
And there he was this young one a stranger to my eyes

Strummin my pain with his fingers (1 time 1 time)
Singin my life with his words(2 times 2 times)
Killin me softly with his song
Killin me softly with his song telling my whole life
with his words killin me softly with his song

I felt all flush with fever
embrarrassed by the crowd
I felt he found my letters
and read each one out loud
I pray that he would finish
but he just kept right on

Strummin my pain with his fingers (1 time 1 time)
Singin my life with his words (2 times 2 times)
killin me softly with his song
Killin softly with his song telling my whole life
with his words killin me softly with his song

I said whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh la la la la la la la whoa oh oh la la la whoa oh oh la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

Strummin my pain with his fingers
Singin my life with his words
Killin me softly with his song
Killin me softly with his "SONG" telling my whole life
with his words killin me softly with his song
