　　英文诗歌Phenomenal Woman

　　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 of my care,

　　'Cause I'm a woman

　　Phenomenally.

　　Phenomenal woman,

　　That's me.
