Oh my, my, my
Telling my whole life with his words
As if I wasn't there, I was right there
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
And there he was, this stranger
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
And read each one out loud
To listen for a while
Killing me softly with his song
But he just kept right on
Killing me softly with his song
And then he looked right through me
Embarrassed by the crowd
Telling my whole life with his words
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing clear and strong
Telling my whole life with his words
In all my dark despair
Killing me softly with his song
But he just kept on singing
Strumming my pain with his fingers
I felt all flushed with fever
Killing me softly, yeah, with his song
Killing me softly with his song
He sang as if he knew me
Killing me softly with his song
I heard he sang a good song
Killing me softly with his song
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Killing me softly with his song
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Killing me softly with his song
I wanna be stronger
I prayed that he would finish, oh no
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Singing my life with his words
And so I went to see him
There before my eyes
And I heard he had a style
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Killing me softly with his song
Singing my life with his words
I felt he found my letters
