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

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

This song is powerful, I prefer her version rather than The Fugees, sorry. This is better, this has the soul of a powerful black woman struggling during the 60-70's period. I love it.

As a 90s baby I grew up with the Fugees version first. Love me some Fugees. This is beautiful, would I listen to it regularly like the Fugees version? No but that’s just taste this is still amazing and definitely fits the vibe of the lyrics better

I fell in love with this song when it was first introduced in the early 70's! I played it over and over! Then one late afternoon my husband and I went to Disneyland in Orange County Ca.! It was starting to get dark when I heard the song "Killing me Softly with his Song" and I thought someone had put on the record with Roberta Flack at Disneyland! To my utter surprise out on stage there stood the real Roberta Flack singing the song IN PERSON! To this day I cannot believe my great luck at seeing the great Roberta Flack singing this wonderful song LIVE in front of me! I will never forget that day ever! She was wonderful!

Apparently someone told Don McLean "Killing Me Softly" was written about him.

@PAW_21

47w↑5

Yes, Lori Lieberman went to see Don and she was mostly impressed when he sang the song 'Empty Chairs' though the mistake is that it is thought him singing 'Vincent' was the inspiration. She mentioned liking this song to songwriters Charles Fox and Norman Gimbel and in collaboration with her they wrote this song but sadly she isn't even included in the writing credits. She recorded the song in 1972. It is often though that it was Roberta Flack that saw Don McLean and loved his song 'Vincent'. Roberta recorded this song and is known for it as it was a very successful recording but credit must go to Lori Lieberman for coming up with the idea for the song in the first place and being the first singer to record it.

The fact that Sangwoo was calling out for Bum in his last moments just makes my heart ache so much, he really did die the most painful death but I guess the promise they made came true at the end of them being together FOREVER. It’s a very traumatizing and immersive story it made me feel so scared yet it was heartbreaking.

One of the few people on earth with a perfect voice... I'm 48 my mom is passed and she used to love this song. At first I didn't think much of my mom's music.. but since her passing I've listened to her albums and her taste was impeccable. Roberta Flack was one of her favorites.... Flawless.
