The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.

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

Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.

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

My brother, is this blindness or something else? Is that 'philomenal' or phenomenal?
