"Phenomenal Woman"
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I..m not cute or built to suit a fashion model..s size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I..m telling lies.
I say,
It..s in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I..m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That..s me.
I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It..s the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I..m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That..s me.
Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can..t touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can..t see.
I say,
It..s in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I..m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That..s me.
Now you understand
Just why my head..s not bowed.
I don..t shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It..s in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
..Cause I..m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That..s me.
if there is something you would like to know about me, just ask!
