Hi AnaMaria, friends,
Another famous work of Maya Angelou's.....
Phenomenal Woman
Pretty woman 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,
Thats me.
I walk into a room,
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man a fellow stands or
fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me
Like 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.
Im a woman
Phenomenally
Phenomenal woman
Thats 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 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,
Thats me.
Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I dont shout or jump about,
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud,
I say,
Its the click of my heel,
The bend ofmy hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally,
Phenomenal woman
that's me.
Maya Angelou
enjoy
