Killing Me Softly by Fugees

This was a huge hit when it came out. Yes, I know it's a cover but it's really the only version that I know.

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.

Hi, yo yea yea.

This is wyclef refugee

El boogie up in here...

Rise well, little

While I'm on this 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

Yo L-Boogie, take it to the bridge

Strumming my pain with his fingers (yes, he was singing),

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.

Strumming my pain

Singing my life with his words,

Killing me softly with his song,

Killing me softly with his song,
