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.
|
|
Chorus repeats.
|
|
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)
