Sisters Are Doin'
It For Themselves by Aretha Franklin (with Eurythmics - Annie Lennox)
Sisters Are Doin' It For Themselves by Aretha Franklin (with Eurythmics)
Now there was a time When they used to say That behind every great man There had to be a great woman
Oh 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
This is a song to celebrate The conscious liberation Of the female state
Mothers, daughters And their daughters too, yeah Woman to woman We're singing with you
The inferior sex Has got a new exterior, yeah We got doctors, lawyers Politicians too, ooh, hoo
Everybody, take a look around Can you see, can you see, can you see There's a woman right next to you, ooh hoo
Sisters are doing it for themselves (Oh, yes, we are) Standing on their own two feet And ringing on their own bells Sisters are doing it for themselves
We ain't making stories We ain't laying plans Don't you know that A man still loves a woman When a woman still loves a man Just the same way (or though)
Sisters are doing it for themselves
There was a time When they used to say That behind every great man There had to be a great woman
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
Come on, girl Go for it, go for it Sisters are doing it for themselves ...come on girl
Sisters are doing it , doing it Doing it, doing it, doing it, doing it Sisters are doing it for themselves Doing it, doing it, doing it, doing it
