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 to my steps the curl of my lips chorus 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 they will stand and fall down on their knees when 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 chorus it s in the arch of my back the sun of my smile the ride of my breast the grace of my style instrumental 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 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 i m a woman baby that s me
