Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves Lyrics - Aretha Franklin

Now there was a time when they used to say 

That behind every great man there had to be a great woman 

Now 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 said, "Sisters are doin' it for themselves" 

Standin' on their own two feet 

And ringin' on their own bells 

We said, "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, oh yeah 

Woman to woman, we're singin' with you

The inferior sex has 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? 

 

We said, "Sisters are doin' it for themselves," oh yes we are 

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 

Don't you know that a man still loves a woman 

When a woman still loves a man? 

Just a same though 

 

Sisters are doin' it for themselves 

There was a time when they used to say 

That behind every great man there had to be a great woman 

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 

Sisters are doin' it for themselves, yes 

 

Sisters are doin' it, doin' it, doin' it, doin' it, doin' it, doin' it 

Sisters are doin' it for themselves, oh oh yes 

Sisters are doin' it for themselves 

Sisters are doin' it for themselves 

 

I said, "Sisters are doin' it for themselves" 

Standin' on their own two feet 

And ringin' on their own bells 

Sisters are doin' it for themselves 

Sisters are doin' it for themselves 

Sisters are doin' it for themselves
