Sisters Are Doin' It for Themselves lyrics

Now there was a time

When we 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 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 singing with you

The inferior sex has got a new exterior

We got doctors, lawyers (Yes we do), 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

We say, "Sisters are doin' it for themselves"

‎

Now we ain't makin' 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 way

Sisters are doin' it for themselves

‎

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 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 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

(C'mon yeah, go for it, go for it)

Sisters (Sisters) are doin' it for themselves

(Step on, c'mon do it girl)

Standin' on their own two feet

And ringin' on their own bells

(Doin' it, doin' it, doin' it, doin' it, doin' it)

Sisters are doin' it for themselves

(Doin' it, do it, doin' it, doin' it)

Sisters are doin' it for themselves

(Doin' it for themselves) (Doin' it, doin' it, doin' it, doin' it)

Sisters are doin' it for themselves

I said, "Sisters are doin' it for themselves"

(People pay, hear what we say)

Standin' on their own two feet an ringin' on their own bells

(Sisters are doin' it for themselves)

Here we come now, doin' it, doin' it, we're doin' it, doin' it

(Sisters are doin' it for themselves)‎
