[Intro]
Some say, this is great!
[Lisa]
Now there was a time when we used to say
That behind every great man
There had to be a great woman
[Ann & Nancy Wilson]
Well, times change
You know it's no longer true
We're coming out of the kitchen
'Cause there's something we forgot to say to you
Sisters are doing it for themselves, oh yeah
Standing on their own two feet
Ringing on their own bells
Sisters are doing it for themselves
[Lisa & Ann & Nancy Wilson]
Now this is a song to celebrate
The conscious liberation of the female state
Mother and her daughters and all their daughters too
Woman to woman we'll sing it all with you
Sisters are doing it for themselves
Standing on their own two feet
Ringing on their own bells
Sisters are doing it for themselves
[Bridge: Ann & Nancy Wilson]
No, we ain't makin' stories
No, we ain't layin' plans
A man still loves a woman
And a woman still loves a man, yeah
[Electric Guitar Solo]
[Lisa]
It's incredible female power
Sisters are doing it for themselves
[Lisa & Ann and Nancy Wilson]
The inferior sex has got a new exterior
We've got doctors and lawyers and politicians too
And everybody can take a look around
Can you see, can you see, can you see?
There's a woman sitting right next to you
[Hook]
Sisters are doing it for themselves
Standing on their own two feet
And ringing on their own bells
Everybody else do what I'm saying
Sisters are doing it for themselves
They're standing on their own two feet
And ringing on their own bells
Sisters are doing it, doing it
Doing it, doing it, doing it
[Outro]
Sisters are doing it for themselves
Sisters are doing it for themselves
Sisters are doing it for themselves
Some say, this is great!
[Lisa]
Now there was a time when we used to say
