Songwriter Ray Burton said Helen Reddy handed him a notebook sized piece of paper with words for I Am Woman partly written in poetry and told to come up with a melody. He said “I had to delete words here and add words there so that the lyrics fitted my melody rhythmically, so I wrote all of the melody and I guess I wrote some of the lyrics as well, but giving credit where credit is due, Helen wrote the majority of the lyrics and I just re-shaped and re-organized them.” https://youtube/watch?v=Zu4xpDuf84A
