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 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
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 And we ain't layin' plans 'Cause a man still loves a woman And a woman still loves a man (Just a same though)
