Sisters Are Doin' It for Themselves

Now there was a time
When they used to say
That behind every great man
There had to be a great womanBut in these times of change
You know that it's no longer true
So we're comin' out of the kitchen
'Cause there's somethin' we forgot to say to you, we saySisters are doin' it for themselves
Standin' on their own two feet
And ringin' on their own bells, we say
Sisters are doin' it for themselvesNow this is a song
To celebrate
The conscious liberation
Of the female stateMothers, daughters
And their daughters too
Woman to woman
We're singin' with youThe inferior sex
Got a new exterior
We got doctors
Lawyers, politicians tooEverybody take a look around
Can you see, can you see
Can you see there's a woman
Right next to you, we saySisters are doin' it for themselves
Standin' on their own two feet
And ringin' on their own bells
Sisters are doin' it for themselvesNow we ain't makin' stories
Oh, we ain't layin' plans
Don't you know that a man still loves a woman
And a woman still loves a man
Just the same waySisters are doin' it for themselvesThere was a time
When they used to say
That behind every great man
There had to be a great womanBut in these times of change
You know that it's no longer true
So we're comin' out of the kitchen
'Cause there's somethin' we forgot to say to you, we saySisters are doin' it for themselves
Standin' on their own two feet
And ringin' on their own bells
Sisters are doin' it for themselvesSisters are doin' it for themselves
Sisters are doin' it, doin' it, doin' it
Doin' it, doin' it, doin' it
Sisters are doin' it for themselves, yeah
Sisters are doin' it for themselves, yeahSisters are doin' it for themselves
I said, " Hey, hey, sisters are doin' it for themselves"
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
