PHENOMENAL WOMAN by MAYA ANGELOU

"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 is in the arch of my back

The sun of my smile

The ride of my breasts

The grace of my style.

I am a woman. Phenomenally.

Phenomenal woman, THAT IS ME!"
