'PHENOMENAL WOMAN' - a poem by Maya Angelou.Pretty woman wonder where my secret lies. I'm not cute or built to fit 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 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. 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 the arch of my back, The sun in 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, I ought to make you proud, I say, It's the click of my heals, The bend of my hair, The need for my care. 'Cause I'm a woman, Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me.I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
