Summersong, 58

I am Woman -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 just a Woman That's me. -I walk into a room Just as cool as you please And to a man The fellows stand, I 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 just a 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 just a 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, Exceptional Woman, That's me!
