Sisters Are Doin' It for Themselves

Now there was a time when we used to say

That behind every great man

There had to be a great woman

But 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 say)

Sisters are doin' it for themselves

Standin' on their own two feet

And ringin' on their own bells

Said, sisters are doin' it for themselves

Now this is a song to celebrate

The conscious liberation of the female state

Mothers, daughters and their daughters too, yeah

Woman to woman

We're singin' with you

The inferior sex had got a new exterior

We got doctors, lawyers, politicians too

Everybody, take a look around

Can you see, can you see, can you see

There's a woman right next to you, hoh hoh

We say, sisters are doin' it for themselves, oh yes we are

Standin' on their own two feet

And ringin' on their own bells

Sisters are doin' it for themselves

Now we ain't makin' stories

We ain't layin' plans

Don't ya know a man still loves a woman

And a woman still loves a man

(Just the same)

Sisters are doin' it for themselves

Ah there was a time, ah when they used to say

That behind every great man

There had to be a great woman

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 say)

Sisters are doin' it for themselves

Standin' on their own two feet

And ringin' on their own bells

Sisters are doin' it for themselves

Go on girl, go for it, go for it

Sisters are doin' it for themselves

Step right to it girl

Sisters are doin' it, doin' it

Doin' it, doin' it, doin' it, doin' it

Sisters are doin' it for themselves
