Strumming dub plates with our fingers,
|
Eliminate sounds with our song,
|
Killing a sound boy with this sound,
|
Killing a sound boy with this sound,
|
Taking sound boysĄ¯ lives with this dub,
|
Killing him softly with this sound.
|
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 and listen for a while.
|
And there he was this young boy, 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
|

Yo L-Boogie, take it to the bridge

|
(Bust it)
|
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 finger, yeah he was . . .
