PHENOMENAL WOMAN 2009

Pretty women often ask me where my secret lies

Im not cute or built to suit a fashion models size

but when I start to tell them thay think Im telling lies I say

I soar like an eagle when I step into a room but Im as quiet as a mouse

My skin is dark and mysterious like a panther but you can still see the tiger in my eyes

Men are watching me like prey as I walk my hips swish swish and sway

Rumble Rumble I command respect like the Queen of the jungle

Now you understand why my head is not bowed

I dont have to shout or speak real loud

When you see me passing it ought to make you proud

I say its the click of my stilletoes

the curl of my hair, the ride of my ass, the need of my care

Im a black woman

Phenomenal Woman thats me!

Love,

Paradise
