Eurythmics - 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 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, we say 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 Woman to woman We're singin' 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, 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 Oh, we ain't layin' plans Don't you know that a man still loves a woman And a woman still loves a man Just the same way 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 Sisters are doin' it, doin' it, doin' it Doin' it, doin' it, doin' it Sisters are doin' it for themselves, yeah Sisters are doin' it for themselves, yeah Sisters are doin' it for themselves I said, " Hey, hey, sisters are doin' it for themselves" Sisters are doin' it for themselves Sisters are doin' it for themselves
