Now there was a time
When we used to say
That behind every great man
There had to be a great woman
Well now in these times of change I know that
It's no longer true
Always coming out of the kitchen
'cause there's something we forgot to say to you
And their sisters are doing it for themselves
Standin' on their own two feet
And ringin' on their own bells
I said sisters are doin' it for themselves
Yeah the storm
To celebrate
The conscious liberation of the female state
Mothers daughters and their daughters too oh yeah
Woman to woman we're singin' with you
The inferior sex has had a new experience
We got doctors lawyers and politicians too
Oh 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 doing it for themselves
Oh yes we are standing on their own two feet
And ringing on their own bell
Sisters are doing it for themselves
Yeah we ain't making stories
We ain't making plans
Don't you know that a man still loves a woman
Oh and a woman still loves a man
Just the same
Sisters are doing it for themselves
Yeah there was a time there was a time
Oh when they used to say
Used to say that behind every great man
There had to be a great woman
Well in these times of change I 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 doin' it for themselves
Standing on their own two feet
Ringing on their own bell
We say sisters are doing it for themselves
Standing on their own two feet
Ringing on their own bell
