Sisters are doing it for themselves

Now there was a timewhen we used to saythat behind every great manthere has to be a great woman. Well, in these times of changeyou know that it is no longer true.
So we're coming out of the kitchen'cause there's something we forgot to say to you. We know sisters are doing it for themselves.
Standing on their own two feet,
Ringing on their own bells. Sisters are doing it for themselves. Now this is a song to celebratethe conscious liberation of the female state.
Mother daughters and their daughters too will know
Woman to woman we'll sing it with you.
Now the inferior sex has got a new exterior.We've got doctors, lawyers politicians too
Oh yeah
Everybody take a look around.
Can you see, can you see, can you see? There's a woman right next to you.
Whoa yeah!
Sisters are doing it for themselves.
Standing on their own two feet.
Ringing on their own bells
Sisters are doing it for themselves We ain't makin stories
No, we ain't makin plans Don't you know that a manstill loves a womanand a woman still loves a man (Guitar solo) Now there was a time (there was a time)when we used to say (when we used to say)that behind every great manthere has to be a great woman.
Well, in these times of changeyou know that it is no longer true
So we're coming out of the kitchencause there's something we forgot to say to you Sisters are doing it for themselves
Standing on their own two feet.
Ringing on their own bells
Sisters are doing it for themselves
Sisters are doing it for themselvesWe're doing it, doing it, doing it, doing it
Sisters are doing it for themselves
All of my sisters, all of my sisters
Sisters are doing it for themselves
