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 coming out of the kitchen
'Cause there's something we forgot to say to you (we say)
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, 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 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 laying 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 doing 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 coming out of the kitchen
'Cause there's something we forgot to say to you (we say)
Sisters are doing it for themselves
Standing on their own two feet
And ringing on their own bells
Sisters are doing it for themselves
Sisters are doing it for themselves
(Sisters are doing it for themselves)
Standing on their own two feet
And ringing on their own bells (here we come now)
Sisters are doing it for themselves (and we're doing it)
(Go for it, girl, go for it)
Thank you, I'll get it myself
