Strummin′ My Pain With Her Fingers
Singin' My Life With Her Words
Killin′ Me Softly With Her SongKillin' Me Softly, With Her Song
Tellin' My Whole Life With Her Words
Killin′ Me Softly, With Her Song

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

Strummin′ My Pain With Her Fingers
Singin' My Life With Her Words
Killin′ Me Softly With Her Song
Killin' Me Softly, With Her Song
Tellin′ My Whole Life With Her Words
Killin' 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 Aloud, Oh
I Prayed That She Would Finish
But She Just Kept Right On

Strummin′ My Pain With Her Fingers
Singin' My Life With Her Words
Killin' Me Softly With Her Song
Killin′ Me Softly, With Her Song
Tellin′ My Whole Life With Her Words
Killin' Me Softly, With Her Song
