AL B. SURE! - Killing Me Softly lyrics

rate me

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 there she was

This young girl

A stranger to my eyes

Strumming my pain

With her fingers

She was 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

Embarrassed by the crowd

I felt she found my letters

And read each one out loud

I prayed that she would finish

But she just kept right on

Hoo, ooh...

She sang as if

She knew me, yeah

In all my dark despair

And then she looked

Right through me

As if I wasn't there

But she just kept

On singing strong

Singing clear and

Strumming my pain

With her fingers

She was singing

My life with her words

(She was, she was)

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
