Now there was a time When we used to say That behind every great man There has to be a great woman.
Well, in these times of change You know that it is no longer true. So we're coming out of the kitchen 'cause there's something we forgot to say to you.
We know sisters are doing it for themselves. Standing on their own two feet, 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. Mother daughters and their daughters too will know Woman to woman we'll sing it with you. Now the inferior sex has got a new exterior. We've got doctors, lawyers politicians too Oh yeah Everybody take a look around. Can you see, can you see, can you see?
There's a woman right next to you. Whoa yeah! Sisters are doing it for themselves. Standing on their own two feet. Ringing on their own bells Sisters are doing it for themselves
We ain't makin stories No we ain't makin plans
Don't you know that a man Still loves a woman And a woman still loves a man
(guitar solo)
Now there was a time (there was a time) When we used to say (when we used to say) That behind every great man There has to be a great woman. Well, in these times of change You know that it is no longer true So we're coming out of the kitchen Cause there's something we forgot to say to you
