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

'Cause there's somethin' we forgot to say to you



Chorus:

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



(chorus)



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



Well there was a time when they used to say

That behind every great man

There had to be a great woman

In these times of change you know

iIt is no longer true

So we're comin' out of the kitchen



'Cause there's somethin' we forgot to say to you



(chorus)



Sisters are doin' it for themselves (repeat)
