When they used to say
Doin' it, doin' it, doin' it
And ringin' on their own bells
Standin' on their own two feet
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
We're singin' with you
So we're comin' out of the kitchen
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
That behind every great man
Now this is a song
Just the same way
The conscious liberation
Standin' on their own two feet
But in these times of change
We got doctors
Mothers, daughters
There had to be a great woman
You know that it's no longer true
And a woman still loves a man
I said, " Hey, hey, sisters are doin' it for themselves"
Don't you know that a man still loves a woman
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Lawyers, politicians too
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Of the female state
Sisters are doin' it for themselves, yeah
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
So we're comin' out of the kitchen
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Everybody take a look around
Sisters are doin' it for themselves, yeah
Oh, we ain't layin' plans
Got a new exterior
Right next to you, we say
Now we ain't makin' stories
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
To celebrate
There was a time
There had to be a great woman
Can you see there's a woman
Can you see, can you see
That behind every great man
And ringin' on their own bells
'Cause there's somethin' we forgot to say to you, we say
But in these times of change
And ringin' on their own bells, we say
Standin' on their own two feet
Sisters are doin' it, doin' it, doin' it
'Cause there's somethin' we forgot to say to you, we say
And their daughters too
You know that it's no longer true
Woman to woman
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
The inferior sex
