Lyrics - Sisters Are Doin It For Themselves by Eurythmics

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 something we foryot to say to youwe say:
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Standin' on their own two feet an ringin' on their own bells.
Sisters are doin' it for themselves.
Now this is a song to celebrate
The conscious liberation of the female state.
Mothersdaughters and their daughterstoo
Woman to womanwe're singing with you.
The inferior sex has got a new exterior
We got doctorslawyerspoliticianstoo.
Everybodytake a look around -
Can you seecan you seecan you see there's a woman right next to you.
We say:
Sisters are doin' it for themselves. . .
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 the same though -
Sisters are doin' it for themselves.
Now there was a time when they used to say . . .
Sisters are doin' it for themselves. . .
Sisters are doin' it for themselves. . .
