Luther Vandross — Killing Me Softly

[Chorus] Strumming my pain with his fingers Singing my life with his words Killing me softly with his song Killing me softly, yeah, with his song Telling my whole life with his words Killing meeeeeee Softly Ohhhh, with his song Ooh... [Verse 1] I heard he sang a good song And I heard he had a style And so I went to see him To listen for a while And there he was this stranger There before my eyes [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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, oh no But he just kept right on [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] He sang as if he knew me In all my dark despair And then he looked right through me As if I wasn't there I was right there But he just kept on singing Singing clear and strong, oohhh [Chorus] Strumming my pain with his fingers (Singing) Singing my life with his words (I should've been stronger) Killing me softly with his song Killing me softly (softly) with his song Telling my whole life with his words Killing me softly (softly) with his song [Bridge] Oh...gotta be stronger... Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah... Oh my my my... [Chorus] Strumming my pain with his fingers (Yes he was) Singing my life with his words (Wish I was stronger) Killing me softly with his song Killing me softly with his song Telling my whole life with his words (Every day I remember) Killing me softly with his song [Outro] I still remember... 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
