ruby dee - phenomenal woman by maya angelou lyrics

Loading...

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 t++th
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 br++sts
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 cl!ck of my heels
the bend of my hair
the palm of my hand
the need for my care
’cause i’m a woman
phenomenally
phenomenal woman
that’s me
