Annie Lennox & Aretha Franklin - Sisters Are Doin It for Themselves

Tekst piosenki:

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)



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 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" 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



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

and we ain't layin' plans

'cause a man still loves a woman

and a woman still loves a man

(just a same though)
