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 curt 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 people,

The crowd stand or

Fall down on their knees.

p

Then they swarm around me,

A hive of honey bees.

H

I say,

It's the fire in my eyes,

E

And the flash of my teeth, The swing in my waist,

N

And the joy in my feet. I'm a woman

0

Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman,

M

That's me.

E

People themselves have wondered

N

What they see in me. They try so much

A

But they can't touch My inner mystery.

L

When I try to show them

They say they still can't see. I say,

w

It's in the arch of my back,

The sun of my smile,

0

The grace of my style. I'm a woman

M

Phenomenally.

A

Phenomenal woman,

N

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.
