Phenomenal Woman

This past Sunday I spent a long overdue afternoon with one of my best friends, Rachel. She is one of the most caring and giving people I know. And she is right by my side in the quest to pursue our passions in life! If I could give Rachel anything in the world, it would be the ability to see with her own eyes what an incredibly beautiful woman she is inside and out.

...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. And 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 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.
