Phenomenal Woman
 
by Maya Angelou
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a model's fashion 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 steps,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman. Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman. That's me.

I walk into a room
And the fellows (ladies)stand or Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
say It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing of my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman.
Phenomenal woman. That's me.

(Wo)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 for my care.
'Cause I'm a woman. Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman. That's me.
 
Two weeks ago...........

"Two weeks ago I had it made. Two weeks ago I was dead. No really, it was beautiful. It was calm, Emma was there...I had it made. But they have this thing called science. You may have heard of it, it has a pretty good agent. Anyway, they hit me with the science stick until I came back. Dammit." Katchoo Strangers In Paradise By Terry Moore


 
I Still Dream of You
I don't know why but I do...
Dream of you.
Losing you...
I still dream of you.
Is it the same way for you?
Doesn't hi and goodbye sound so cruel?
How can I take my heart from you?
Even tho' I'm losing you,
I still dream of you.
Losing you...
I still dream of you.
I don't know why but I do...
Dream of you.
Losing you,
I still dream of you.
I still dream of you.
