[Hook: Lauryn Hill]
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
k**ing me softly with his song
k**ing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
k**ing me softly with his song
[Ad-libs: Wyclef Jean + (Lauryn Hill)]
(Ah!) Yooo! (Yeah! Yeah!)
This is Wyclef, Refugee Camp (L-Boogie up in here)
Prazrel, (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)
Ayo, L, you know you got the lyrics
[Verse 1: Lauryn Hill]
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
[Hook: Lauryn Hill + (Wyclef Jean)]
Strumming my pain with his fingers (One time, one time)
Singing my life with his words (Two times, two times)
k**ing me softly with this song
k**ing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
k**ing me softly with his song
[Verse 2: Lauryn Hill]
I felt all flushed with fever
Embarra**ed 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
[Hook: Lauryn Hill + (Wyclef Jean)]
Strumming my pain with his fingers (One time, one time)
Singing my life with his words (Two times, two times)
k**ing me softly with his song
k**ing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
k**ing me softly with his song
[Interlude: Wyclef Jean]
Yo, L-Boy, take it to the bridge
[Hook: Lauryn Hill]
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Yes he was singing my life with his words
k**ing me softly with his song
k**ing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
k**ing me softly with his song
Strumming my pain yeah
Singing my life with his words
k**ing me softly with his song
k**ing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
