"Phenomenal Woman" By Maya Angelou--Pretty woman wonder where my secret lies. I'm not cute or built to fit 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. Phnmnl 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. 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 phnmnlly. Phnmnl woman, that’s me. Men thmslvs 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 in my smile, The ride of my breasts, The grace of my style.
