Eurythmics | Lyrics | Sisters Are Doin' It for Themselves

Now 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
I 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 sisters are doin' it for themselves
Standin' on their own two feet
And ringin' on their own bells
We say sisters are doin' 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 singin' with you

The inferior sex
Has 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

We say sisters are doin' it for themselves
Standin' on their own two feet
And ringin' on their own bells
Sisters are doin' it for themselves

Now we ain't makin' stories
We ain't layin' plans
Do't you know a man still loves a woman
And a woman still loves a man?
Just a same though

Sisters are doin' 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
I 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 sisters are doin' it for themselves
Standin' on their own two feet
And ringin' on their own bells
Sisters are doin' it for themselves

Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
