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 in these times of change |
You know that it’s no longer true |
So we’re comin' out of the kitchen |
Cos there’s somethin' we forgot to say to you |
We say |
Sisters are doin' it for themselves |
Standin' on their own two feet |
And 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 singin' 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 doin' it for themselves |
Standin' on their own two feet |
And ringin' on their own bells |
Sisters are doin' it for themselves |
Oh we ain’t makin' stories |
No, we ain’t makin' plans |
Don’t ya know that a man still loves a woman |
And a woman still loves a man |
Now there was a time (there was a time) |
When we used to say (when we used to say) |
That behind every great man |
There has to be a great woman |
Well in these times of change |
You know that it is no longer true |
So we’re comin' out of the kitchen |
Cos there’s somethin' we forgot to say to you |
And that’s |
Sisters are doin' it for themselves |
Standin' on their own two feet |
And ringin' on their own bells |
Sisters are doin' it for themselves |
Sisters are doin' it for themselves |
(Doin it, doin it, do-doin' it, doin' it) |
Sisters are doin' it for themselves |
(All of my sisters, all of my sisters) |
Sisters are doin' it for themselves |
