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 (one time, one time)
          Singing my life with his words (two times, 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'd 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, one time)
          Singing my life with his words (two times, 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-Boog, take me to the bridge
          
          Woah
          Woah-oah-ah-ah-ah uh, uh
          La-la-la, la, la, la
          Woah, la
          Woah, la (ha, ha, ha, ha)
          La-ah-ah-ah-ah
          
          Strumming my pain with his fingers (yes, he was singing my life)
          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
          
          Yo, put your hands together for L-Boogie (strumming my pain)
          From the Refugee Camp (yeah, yeah)
