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.

Fenomenalna žena
Lepe žene se pitaju gde je moja tajna
Nisam slatka niti građena po pomodnoj meri
Ali kad pokušam da im objasnim
One misle da lažem.
Kažem
To je u dometu mojih ruku
Širina mojih bedara
Bat mojih koraka
Zavoj mojih usana
Ja sam žena
Fenomenalno
Fenomenalna žena
To sam ja.
Ja ulazim u sobu
Smirena koliko želiš
A spram muškarca
Ljudi stoje
Ili padnu ničice
Onda se sjate oko mene
Košnica osa
Kažem
To je vatra u mojim očima
I bljesak mojih zuba
Obrt mog struka
I radost u mojim stopalima
Ja sam žena
Fenomenalno
Fenomenalna žena
To sam ja
I sami muškarci pitali su se
Šta u meni vide
Pokušavaju žestoko
Ali ne mogu da dodirnu
Moju unutarnju tajnu.
Kada pokušam da im je pokažem
Oni opet tvrde da je ne vide.
Kažem
Ona je u luku mojih leđa
U suncu mog osmeha
U držanju mojih grudi
U gracioznosti mog stila
Ja sam žena
Fenomenalno
Fenomenalna žena
To sam ja
Sada vi razumete
Upravo zašto mi glava nije povijena
Ja ne vičem i skačem okolo
Niti moram zaista glasno da govorim
Kada me vidite da prolazim
Trebalo bi da ste ponosni
Kažem
To je u tapkanju mojih štikli
Uvijenosti moje kose
Dlana moje šake
Potrebi za mojom brigom
Jer ja sam žena
Fenomenalno
Fenomenalna žena
To sam ja
