Sisters Are Doin’ It for Themselves Songtext
von Eurythmics & Aretha Franklin

Now there was a time when they used to say
That behind every great man there had to be a great woman
But 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

Standin′ on their own two feet
And ringin' on their own bells

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


The "Inferior Sex" 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

Standin' on our own two feet
And ringin′ on our own bells

Now we ain't makin' stories
And we ain′t layin′ plans
'Cause a man still loves a woman
And a woman still loves a man, just a same though

Now there was a time when they used to say
That behind every great man there had to be a great woman
But 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

Standin' on their own two feet
And ringin′ on their own bells

Sisters are doin′ it, doin' it, doin′ it
Doin' it, doin′ it, doin' it
