Sisters Are Doin' It For Themselves

(album: Who's Zoomin' Who? - 1985)

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 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
And we ain't laying plans
'Cause a man still loves a woman
And a woman still loves a man
(Just a same though)
