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 yeah
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
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 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
Sisters are doin' it
for themselves
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
Sisters are doin' it
for themselves
Standin' on their own two feet
and ringin' on their own bells
Sisters are doin' it
for themselves
