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
Ah Yooo Yeah Yeah
This is Wyclef, Refugee Camp Now
L Boogie up in here
Prazrel, make me wanna do some base
Prazrel up in here ha ha
Lil'Base sits up there on the base
Refugees up in here
While I'm on this I got my girl L Ah Ah
One time, one time
One time, one time
Aiyo L you know you got the lyrics, the lyrics
One time, one time, one time hey yo L you know you got the lyrics
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
One time, one time
Singing my life with his words
Two times, two times
Killing me softly with this 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 then 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 Boogie, boy L boy L, take it to the bridge
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Yes he was 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
