Sisters Are Doin'it For Themselves Songtext / Lyric

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 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, 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 singin' 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, 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 we ain't makin' stories

Oh, 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 way



Sisters are doin' 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 comin' out of the kitchen

'Cause 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



Sisters are doin' it for themselves

Sisters are doin' it, doin' it, doin' it

Doin' it, doin' it, doin' it

Sisters are doin' it for themselves, yeah

Sisters are doin' it for themselves, yeah



Sisters are doin' it for themselves

I said, " Hey, hey, sisters are doin' it for themselves"

Sisters are doin' it for themselves

Sisters are doin' it for themselves
