**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 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
MAYA ANGELOU
