Eurythmics Feat. Aretha Franklin - Sisters Are Doin' It For Themselves lyrics

rate me

Now there was a time when they used to say<br />

That behind every great man there had to be a great woman<br />

But in these times of change you know that it's no longer true<br />

So we're comin' out of the kitchen<br />

'Cause there's somethin' we forgot to say to you, we say<br />

<br />

Sisters are doin' it for themselves<br />

Standin' on their own two feet<br />

And ringin' on their own bells<br />

Sisters are doin' it for themselves<br />

<br />

Now this is a song to celebrate<br />

The conscious liberation of the female state<br />

Mothers, daughters and their daughters too, oh yeah<br />

Woman to woman we're singin' with you<br />

<br />

The "Inferior Sex" got a new exterior<br />

We got doctors, lawyers, politicians too<br />

Everybody take a look around<br />

Can you see, can you see, can you see<br />

There's a woman right next to you<br />

<br />

Sisters are doin' it for themselves<br />

Standin' on our own two feet<br />

And ringin' on our own bells<br />

Sisters are doin' it for themselves<br />

<br />

Now we ain't makin' stories<br />

And we ain't layin' plans<br />

'Cause a man still loves a woman<br />

And a woman still loves a man, just a same though<br />

<br />

Sisters are doin' it for themselves<br />

<br />

Now there was a time when they used to say<br />

That behind every great man there had to be a great woman<br />

But in these times of change you know that it's no longer true<br />

So we're comin' out of the kitchen<br />

'Cause there's somethin' we forgot to say to you, we say<br />

<br />

Sisters are doin' it for themselves<br />

Standin' on their own two feet<br />

And ringin' on their own bells<br />

Sisters are doin' it for themselves<br />

<br />

Sisters are doin' it for themselves<br />

Sisters are doin' it, doin' it, doin' it<br />

Doin' it, doin' it, doin' it<br />

Sisters are doin' it for themselves<br />

Sisters are doin' it for themselves<br />

<br />

Sisters are doin' it for themselves<br />

Sisters are doin' it for themselves<br />

Sisters are doin' it for themselves<br />

Sisters are doin' it for themselves<br />

Sisters are doin' it for themselves
