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.
