I AM A PHENOMENAL WOMAN

PHENOMENAL WOMAN

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies

I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion 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 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 woman.

Phenomenally

Phenomental 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 I 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 woman

Phenomenally.

Phenomenal woman.

That's me.

How 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 for my care.;

'Cause I'm a woman

Phenomenally.

Phenomenal woman.

That's me.

I AM THAT PHENOMENAL WOMAN....
TODAY AND EVERYDAY
I AM STRONG AND I CAN DO ANYTHING.
