Now there was a time when we 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

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 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

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
No we ain't making plans
Cause a man still loves a woman
And a woman still loves a man

Now there was a time, now there was a time
When we used to say, when we used to say
That behind every great man there had to be a great woman
But in these times of change you know that's no longer true
So we're coming out of the kitchen
Cause there's something we forgot to say 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

Sisters are doing it for themselves
Sisters are doing it for themselves
Sisters are doing it for themselves
