\u00a0<\/div>\n
Phenomenal Woman<\/i><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.<\/div>\n
I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size<\/div>\n
But when I start to tell them,<\/div>\n
They think I’m telling lies.<\/div>\n
I say,<\/div>\n
It’s in the reach of my arms<\/div>\n
The span of my hips,<\/div>\n
The stride of my step,<\/div>\n
The curl of my lips.<\/div>\n
I’m a woman<\/div>\n
Phenomenally.<\/div>\n
Phenomenal woman,<\/div>\n
That’s me.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
I walk into a room<\/div>\n
Just as cool as you please,<\/div>\n
And to a man,<\/div>\n
The fellows stand or<\/div>\n
Fall down on their knees.<\/div>\n
Then they swarm around me,<\/div>\n
A hive of honey bees.<\/div>\n
I say,<\/div>\n
It’s the fire in my eyes,<\/div>\n
And the flash of my teeth,<\/div>\n
The swing in my waist,<\/div>\n
And the joy in my feet.<\/div>\n
I’m a woman<\/div>\n
Phenomenally.<\/div>\n
Phenomenal woman,<\/div>\n
That’s me.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Men themselves have wondered<\/div>\n
What they see in me.<\/div>\n
They try so much<\/div>\n
But they can’t touch<\/div>\n
My inner mystery.<\/div>\n
When I try to show them<\/div>\n
They say they still can’t see.<\/div>\n
I say,<\/div>\n
It’s in the arch of my back,<\/div>\n
The sun of my smile,<\/div>\n
The ride of my breasts,<\/div>\n
The grace of my style.<\/div>\n
I’m a woman<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Phenomenally.<\/div>\n
Phenomenal woman,<\/div>\n
That’s me.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Now you understand<\/div>\n
Just why my head’s not bowed.<\/div>\n
I don’t shout or jump about<\/div>\n
Or have to talk real loud.<\/div>\n
When you see me passing<\/div>\n
It ought to make you proud.<\/div>\n
I say,<\/div>\n
It’s in the click of my heels,<\/div>\n
The bend of my hair,<\/div>\n
the palm of my hand,<\/div>\n
The need of my care,<\/div>\n
‘Cause I’m a woman<\/div>\n
Phenomenally.<\/div>\n
Phenomenal woman,<\/div>\n
That’s me.\u00a0<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
