Now there was a time

When we used to say

That behind every great man

There has to be a great woman.



Well, in these times of change

You know that it is no longer true.

So we're coming out of the kitchen

'cause theres 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 celebrate

The 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?



Theres 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 man

Still loves a woman

And 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 man

There has to be a great woman.

Well, in these times of change

You 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



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 themselves

We're doing it, doing it, doing it, doing it

Sisters are doign it for themselves

All of my sisters, all of my sisters

Sisters are doing it for themselves
