Roberta Flack - Killing Me Softly With His Song Lyrics






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

I heard he sang a good song
I heard he had a style
And so I came to see him
To listen for a while
And there he was this young boy
A stranger to my eyes

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

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
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

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
And he just kept on singing
Singing clear and strong

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

[Break]

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

He was strumming my pain
Yeah, he was singing my life
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

    Killing me softly with his song(蘿貝塔弗萊克)
    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

    I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style.
    And so I came to see him to listen for a while.
    And there he was this young boy, a stranger to my eyes.


    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.

    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.
    But he just came to singing, singing clear and strong.

    Why is everyone saying that The Fugees were ripped off by Roberta Flack and also by Enya? Why didn't they go after Flack and Enya for royalties? I'm being sarcastic btw.

    Roberts Flack such a lovely, beautiful lady of natural talent, elegance and class. Love her.
    I was just a little girl when this song came out but I remember it playing on the car radio all the time. My parents loved it.
    Then when I was in my early twenties I found it in a used records shop and I bought it on 45. I still have it lol

  90. R.... I....
