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 oh, times have changed

You know it's no longer true

We're coming out of the kitchen

'Cause there's something we forgot to say to you

Sisters are doing it for themselves

Standing on their own two feet

And ringing on their own bells

Sisters are doing it for themselves

Now this is a song

To celebrate

The conscious liberation

Of the female state

Mama and her daughters

And all of their daughters too

Woman to woman

We're all singing along with you

Sisters are doing it for themselves

Standing on their own two feet

And ringing on their own bells

Sisters are doing it for themselves

We ain't making stories

No, we ain't laying plans

A man still loves a woman

And a woman still loves a man, yeah

Sisters are doing it for themselves

The inferior sex

Has got a new exterior

We've got doctors and lawyers

And politicians too, yeah

Hey now, everybody

Take a look around

Can you see, can you see, can you see

There's a woman standing right next to you

Sisters are doing it for themselves

Standing on their own two feet

And ringing on their own bells

Sisters are doing it for themselves

Standing on their own two feet

And ringing on their own bells

Sisters are doing it for themselves

Sisters are doing it for themselves

Sisters are doing it for themselves

Sisters are doing it for themselves
