Chorus

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

To listen for a while

And there he was this young boy

A stranger to my eyes

Chorus

I felt all flushed with fever

Embarassed 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

Chorus

ooooohhhhhhhh

oh oh oh oohhhh

ahh ah aha ah ah

lalalalalala

oh oh oh

la la la

oh oh oh

laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

laaaaa lalaaaaaaa la la lala lalaa
