Lyric Sisters are Doin it for Themselves

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 foryot 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
. . .
Sisters are doin it for themselves
. . .
