Sisters Are Doin' It For Themselves
by Aretha Franklin (with Eurythmics - Annie Lennox)

 

Sisters Are Doin' It For Themselves
by Aretha Franklin (with Eurythmics)

Now there was a time
When they used to say
That behind every great man
There had to be a great woman

Oh in these times of change
You know that it's no longer true
So we're coming out of the kitchen
'Cause there's something
We forgot to say to you

We say, Sisters are doing it for themselves
Standing on their own two feet
And ringing on their own bells
Sisters are doing it for themselves

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 singing with you

The inferior sex
Has got a new exterior, yeah
We got doctors, lawyers
Politicians too, ooh, hoo

Everybody, take a look around
Can you see, can you see, can you see
There's a woman right next to you, ooh hoo

Sisters are doing it for themselves
(Oh, yes, we are)
Standing on their own two feet
And ringing on their own bells
Sisters are doing it for themselves

We ain't making stories
We ain't laying plans
Don't you know that
A man still loves a woman
When a woman still loves a man
Just the same way (or though)

Sisters are doing it for themselves

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 that it's no longer true
So we're coming out of the kitchen
'Cause there's something
We forgot to say to you

We say, Sisters are doing it for themselves
Standing on their own two feet
And ringing on their own bells
Sisters are doing it for themselves

Come on, girl
Go for it, go for it
Sisters are doing it for themselves
...come on girl

Sisters are doing it , doing it
Doing it, doing it, doing it, doing it
Sisters are doing it for themselves
Doing it, doing it, doing it, doing it
