killing me softly by Fugees

 

 

 

 

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

Yo, this is Wyclef, Refugee Camp, Prakazrel

This little base sittin' up here on the base

While I'm on this pro

I got my girl "L", one time, one time

Hey yo, "L", you know you got the lyrics

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 (one time)

Singing my life with his words (two times)

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 (one time)

Singing my life with his words (two times)

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, and all my dark despair

He kept on looking right through me as if I wasn't there

And then he kept on singing, singing clear and strong

Oh, oh, oh... La, la, la, la...

Strumming my pain with his fingers (Yes he was singing my life)

Singing my life with his words

Killing me softly with his song

Killing me softly with his song (Yeahh)

Telling my whole life with his words (Whole life, his words)

Killing me softly, with his song

Strumming my pain (Yeah)

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
