Killing Me Softly

Killing me softly

• I heard he told a good words, I heard he had a style.

• And so I came to sit with, and listen for a while.

• And there he was, this young man, a stranger to my eyes.

• Strumming my pain with his fingers,

• Telling my life with this words,

• Killing me softly with his tongue,

• Killing me softly with his tongue.

• Telling my whole life... with this words.

• I felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowd.

• I felt he'd 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,

• Telling my life with this words,

• Killing me softly with his tongue,

• Killing me softly with his tongue.

• Telling my whole life... with this words.
