As for lyrics on sheet music/liner notes differing from those recorded, it
could be that people don't sing songs the same way twice, or (as happened
with "Blinded By the Light" or whatever) a second group covered a song
by ear, not by written music, and didn't have good ears. Re: "Killing Me
Softly", if you listen to the whole song, "pain" makes more sense than
any other word that's been suggested, and I've seen it printed that way
in several places.
(Doesn't all of this belong in net.music, anyway?)
