|
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 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, 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 |
|
Woman to woman |
|
We're singin' with you |
|
The inferior sex |
|
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 |
|
Standin' on their own two feet |
|
And ringin' on their own bells |
|
Sisters are doin' it for themselves |
|
Now we ain't makin' stories |
|
Oh, 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 way |
|
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 |
|
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 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 |
|
Sisters are doin' it, doin' it, doin' it |
|
Doin' it, doin' it, doin' it |
|
Sisters are doin' it for themselves, yeah |
|
Sisters are doin' it for themselves, yeah |
|
Sisters are doin' it for themselves |
|
I said, " Hey, hey, sisters are doin' it for themselves" |
|
Sisters are doin' it for themselves |
|
Sisters are doin' it for themselves |
