Phenomenal Woman Songtext

von Ruthie Foster

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit or fashion-model size.
When I start to tell them,
They think I'm tellin' lies.
I say "It's in, the reach of my arms,
The span of my hips,
The stride in my steps,
The curl of my lips. "

I'm a woman – Phenomenal woman.
Oh, I'm a woman. Oh Baby, that's me.

I walk into a room Just as cool as you please
To a man they will stand
And fall down on their knees.
When they swarm around me
Like a hive of honey bees,
Oh I say, "It's in the fire in my eyes,
The flash of my teeth,
The swing of my waist,
The joy in my feet. "

I'm a woman – Phenomenal woman.
Oh, I'm a woman. Oh Baby, that's me.

It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breast,
The grace of my style.

Now you understand, Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about, Or have to talk real loud.
But when you see me passin', It oughta make you proud.

I say, "It's in click of my heels, The bend of my hair,
The palm of my hand, The need for my care. "

'Cause I'm a woman – Phenomenal woman.
Oh, I'm a woman. Baby, that's me.
The palm of my hand, And the need for my care.
Phenomenal, Phenomenal, Phenomenal Woman
Baby, oh baby, baby, baby, baby……
That's ME……
