Sisters Are Doin 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 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
. . .
