<b>sisters</b> by <i>Maywood</i><br />(David Stewart / Annie Lennox)

Verse

Now there was a time when we used to say

that behind every "great man"

there had to be a "great woman".

Now in these times of change you know

that it's no longer true.

So we're comin' out of the kitchen,

'cause there's somethin' we forgot to say to you, we say:

Chorus

Sisters are doin' it for themselves.

Standin' on their own two feet.

Ringin' on their own bells.

Sisters are doin' it for themselves.

(Let me tell you now)

Verse

Now here is a song to celebrate

the conscious liberation of the female state.

Mothers, daughters and their daughters too, yeah.

Woman to woman we're singin' with you.

The "inferior sex" got a new exterior, yeah.

We got doctors, lawyers, politicians too.

Everybody take a look around, yeah.

Can't you see, can't you see, can't you see.

There's a woman right next to you.

Bridge

Now we ain't makin' stories

and we ain't layin' plans.

Don't you know that a man still loves a woman.

And a woman still loves a man.

It's just the same though.
