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 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 I'ts 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 do much but they can't touch my inner mystery. when they say they still can't see, I say |
is it 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 I'ts thin the click of my heels,the bend of my hair, the palm of my hand, the need of my care, cause I'm a wonan Phenomenally phenomenal woman that's me - Maya Angelou |
