I'm Every Woman

Way back in the day, I watched Ally McBeal fairly religiously. I can't remember why Ally was always searching for her personal theme song, but along the way this 3D dancing baby that boogied to the Blue Swede version of "Hooked On a Feeling" became a television phenomenon. Ooga-Chaka indeed.

I don't recall how it came to me, but this is my theme song. It pops into my head at funny moments, like cleaning the cat litter box, dressing up in a really nice suit for work, or crossing the finish line of a triathlon. Thank you, Ashford and Simpson.

I personally prefer the Chaka Khan version, but Whitney also sang it right.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm every woman, it's all in me
Anything you want done, baby
I'll do it naturally
I'm every woman, it's all in me
I can read your thoughts right now
Every one from A to Z

I can cast a spell
With secrets you can't tell
Mix a special brew
Put fire inside of you
But anytime you feel
Danger or fear
Instantly I will appear, 'cause

I'm every woman, it's all in me
Anything you want done, baby
I'll do it naturally
I'm every woman, it's all in me
I can read your thoughts right now
Every one from A to Z

I can sense your needs
Like rain on to the seeds
I can make a rhyme
Of confusion in your mind
And when it comes down
To some good old fashioned love
That's what I've got plenty of, 'cause

I'm every woman, it's all in me
Anything you want done, baby
I'll do it naturally
I'm every woman, it's all in me
I can read your thoughts right now
Every one from A to Z

I ain't braggin'
'Cause I'm the one
You just ask me
And it shall be done
Don't bother to compare
'Cause I've got it
I've got it
I've got it, yeah
