Phenomenal Woman - New pic inside!

"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."
