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 steps
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenal woman
(yes indeed)
Cause i'm a woman
Phenomenal woman
Baby 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
Like 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
The joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenal woman
(yes indeed)
Cause i'm a woman
Phenomenal woman
Baby that's me.
It's in the arch of my back
The sun of my smile
The ride of my b******
The grace of my style.
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.
I'm a woman
Phenomenal woman
(yes indeed)
Cause i'm a woman
Phenomenal woman
Baby that's me.
Baby that's me yeah
Where my secret lies
