Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves lyrics

Now, there was a time When they used to say That behind every great man, There had to be a great woman. But oh, 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. 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 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 Sisters are doing' it for themselves Standing' on their own two feet And ringing' on their own bells Sisters are doing' it For themselves Now we ain't making' stories And 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, though Sisters are doin' it For themselves.
