Lyrics

Kitty:

Now there was a time when they 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

Kitty and Michelle:

We said, "Sisters are doin' it for themselves"

Standin' on their own two feet

And ringin' on their own bells

We said, "Sisters are doin' it for themselves"

Michelle:

Now this is a song to celebrate

The conscious liberation of the female state

Mothers, daughters and their daughters too, oh yeah

Woman to woman, we're singin' with you

Kitty:

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?

Kitty and Michelle:

We said, "Sisters are doin' it for themselves," oh yes we are

Standin' on their own two feet

And ringin' on their own bells

Sisters are doin' it for themselves

Michelle:

Now we ain't makin' stories and we ain't layin' plans

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

Find more similar lyrics on

When a woman still loves a man?

Just a same though

Kitty and Michelle:

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 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

Kitty and Michelle: 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, yes

Kitty:

Sisters are doin' it, doin' it, doin' it, doin' it, doin' it, doin' it

Sisters are doin' it for themselves, oh oh yes

Sisters are doin' it for themselves

Sisters are doin' it for themselves

Michelle:

I said, "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
