Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.

I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion-model size.

But 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.

I'm a woman. Baby, that's me.

I walk into a room just as cool as you please

And to a man the fellas stand And fall down on their knees.

Then they swarm around me Like a hive of honey bees,

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.

I'm a woman. 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. (key changes here - up one step)

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 hands,

The need for my care."

'Cause I'm a woman Phenomenal woman.

I'm a woman. Baby, that's me.

Its in the palm of my hands

and the need for my care

Phenomenal, phenomenal

Phenomenal woman

baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

that's me, that's me, yeah
