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 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 for my care. 
’Cause I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.
