Eurythmics — Sisters Are Doin’ It for Themselves

[Verse 1: Annie Lennox & Aretha Franklin, Both] 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 coming out of the kitchen 'Cause there's something we forgot to say to you (we say) [Chorus: Annie Lennox & Aretha Franklin] Sisters are doing it for themselves Standing on their own two feet And ringing on their own bells Sisters are doing it for themselves [Verse 2: Annie Lennox & Aretha Franklin, Both] Now this is a song to celebrate The conscious liberation of the female state Mothers, daughters and their daughters too, yeah Woman to woman We're singing with you The "inferior sex" got a new exterior (yeah) We got doctors, lawyers, politicians too - oo Everybody, take a look around Can you see? Can you see? Can you see? There's a woman right next to you [Chorus: Annie Lennox & Aretha Franklin] Sisters are doing it for themselves (oh yes we are) Standing on their own two feet And ringing on their own bells Sisters are doing it for themselves [Bridge: Annie Lennox & Aretha Franklin, Both] Now we ain't making stories And we ain't laying plans 'Cause a man still loves a woman And a woman still loves a man (Just the same though) [Instrumental] [Refrain: Annie Lennox & Aretha Franklin] Sisters are doing it for themselves [Verse 3: Annie Lennox & Aretha Franklin, Both] 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 coming out of the kitchen 'Cause there's something we forgot to say to you (we say) [Chorus: Annie Lennox & Aretha Franklin] Sister are doing it for themselves Standing on their own two feet And ringing on their own bells Sisters are doing it for themselves Sisters are doing it for themselves Sisters are doing it for themselves (yeah, yeah) Sisters are doing it, doing it for themselves (doing it, doing it) Sisters are doing it for themselves Sister are doing it for themselves Standing on their own two feet And ringing on their own bells Sisters are doing it for themselves Sister are doing it for themselves Standing on their own two feet And ringing on their own bells Sisters are doing it for themselves [Spoken] Thank you, I'll get it myself
