"Sisters (Are Doin' It For Themselves)" lyrics - SPICE GIRLS

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" 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

Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Standin' on their own two feet
And ringin' on their own bells
Sisters are doin' it for themselves

Oh we ain't makin' stories
No, we ain't makin' plans
Don't ya know that a man still loves a woman
And a woman still loves a man

Now there was a time (there was a time)
When we used to say (when we used to say)
That behind every great man
There has to be a great woman

Well in these times of change
You know that it is no longer true
So we're comin' out of the kitchen
'Cause there's somethin' we forgot to say to you

And that's
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
(Doin' it, doin' it, do-doin' it, doin' it)
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
(All of my sisters, all of my sisters)
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
