Sisters Are Doing 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 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.
