Sisters Are Doing It for Themselves

Now, there was a time
when they used to say
that behind ev'ry great man,
there had to be a great woman
But oh, in these times of change,
you know that it's no longer true
So we're comin' out of the kitchen,
'cause there's something 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
We say, 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, woh yeah,
woman to woman,
we're singing with you, ooh, ooh
The inferior sex has got a new exterior
We got doctors, lawyers, politicians too,
ooh ooh ooh, ooh
Ev'rybody, take a look around
Can you see, can you see, can you see,
there's a woman right next to youou
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
Now we ain't makin' stories,
and 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, though
Ooh ooh ooh
ooh ooh ooh ooh
Sisters are doin' it
for themselves
There was a time,
oh, when they used to say
that behind ev'ry 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 something 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
Sisters are doin' it
for themselvesselves
Sisters are doin' it, doin' it,
doin' it, doin' it, doin' it, doin' itÉ
Sisters are doin' it for themselves,
uhhuh, uhhuh, yeah
Sisters are doin' it for themselves,
uhhuh, uhhuh, uhhuh, yeah
Sisters are doin' it
for themselves
I say, yeah, yeah,
Sisters are doin' it for themselves,
standin' on theirÉ
Sisters are doin' it
for themselves
