EURYTHMICS - SISTERS ARE DOIN' IT FOR THEMSELVES
With 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 Coming Out Of The Kitchen}
{'Cause There's Something We Forgot To Say To You (We Say)}
Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves
Standing On Their Own Two Feet
And Ringing On Their Own Bells
Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves
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
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
(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}
Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves
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))
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
Thank You, I'll Get It Myself
