David A. Stewart - Sisters Are Doin' It For Themselves lyrics

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 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 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 singing with you The "inferior s**" 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 doing it for themselves Standing on their own two feet And ringing on their own bells Sisters are doing it for themselves Now we ain't making stories And we ain't laying plans Cause a man still loves a woman And a woman still loves a man (Just the same though) Sisters are doing it for themselves Standing on their own two feet And ringing on their own bells Sisters are doing it for themselves Thank you, I'll get it myself Songwriters: Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart
