Lauryn Hill
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
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
Oh ah ah oh...
Oh oh oh oh oh ha ha...
La la la la la la...
Oh oh oh la ah ah...
Oh oh oh la ah ah ah ah ah...
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
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
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
Oh ah ah oh...
Oh oh oh oh oh ha ha...
La la la la la la...
Oh oh oh la ah ah...
Oh oh oh la ah ah ah ah ah...
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
What is the overall message of the song?
To me the message is that the guy in the song was someone she knew, or she could relate to. What he was saying? Either he was trying to tell her about a problem she was familiar with, and he was making a very good point. She had to listen, but she didn't like what was said. She got upset or shy about the situation and decided she didn't want him to continue talking.
Also she felt like he had told everyone else.
The best lines in the song I think are.

Do I think this song should go down in hip hop history? NO!
I just like the song. Lauryn Hill is a great and talent artist. I do think she should be there among the rest of great hip hop artist. People should remember her for other songs she have made, but to some people this one song will always come to mind when they think of Lauryn Hill.
