Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. Im not cute or built to suit a fashion models size, but when i start to tell them, they think im 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. Im a women Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, Thats 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. Im a women Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me. Men thenmselves have wondered What they see in me. They try so much But they cant touch my inner mystery. When i try to show them They still can't see. I say, it's in the arch of my back, The sun of my smile, The ride of my breats, The grace of my style. Im a women Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman.. That's me. Now you understand just why my heads not bowed. I dont 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 im a women Phenomenally, Phenomenal woman, That's me.
Phenomenal woman, expresses so many personal traits in a womans beauty. Maya Angelou is a wonderful speaker who shows her self confidence in her tributes as a phenomenal woman. In Phenomenal Women she catalogoues her strenghts: It's in the reach of my arms, The span of my hips, The stride of my step, The curl of my lips. Each stanza closes with reminding the readers: I'm a woman Phenomenally, That's me. Maya Angelou exults to being different and not like other beautuifil girls in magazines: Pretty woman wonder where my secret lies. Im not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size.
