Now there was a time when they 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 something we forgot to say to you We say:
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Standin' on their own two feet an ringin' on their own bells. 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
Woman to woman We're singing with you. The inferior sex has 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. We say: Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Now we ain't makin' stories and we ain't layin' plans
'Cause a man still loves a woman and a woman still loves a man Just the same though -
Sisters are doin' it for themselves. Now there was a time when they used to say Sisters are doin' it for themselves
