Phenomenal Women

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 women
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal women,
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 the waist
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a women
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal women,
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 the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a women
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal women,
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 the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
The palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
'Cause I'm a women
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal women,
That's me.

there is more to a woman than just beauty, there will always be an aura of mystery that needs to be explored and discovered. each woman is phenomenal in her own way.
