Now there was a time when they used to say
That behind every great man there had to be a great woman
Now 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 said Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Standin' on their own two feet
And ringin' on their own bells
We 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 oh yeah
Woman to woman we're singin' 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 said 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 and we ain't layin' plans
Don't you know that a man still loves a woman
When a woman still loves a man
Just a same though
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
There was a time 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
Sisters are doin' it for themselves yes
Sisters are doin' it doin' it doin' it doin' it doin' it doin' it
Sisters are doin' it for themselves oh oh yes
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
I said Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Standin' on their own two feet
And ringin' on their own bells
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
