Pretty women wonder where my secret lies I'm not cute or built to suit a model's 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 steps 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 of my waist And the joy in my feet.

I'm a woman 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 for my care.
