LYRICS follow the description here:

What a combination! The Queen of Soul and Annie Lennox!!

Aretha Franklin, often referred to as the Queen of Soul is considered one of the greatest singers/artists of all time. In 1987, She was the first female artist to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!

Annie Lennox is a Scottish singer, songwriter, political activist and philanthropist. In the past few years, she has been a leading advocate for helping African women with HIV/AIDS. Her generosity, involvement and humanitarian contributions are so widespread that it would take a lot of space to name them all.

Annie Lennox was part of a British pop duo called Eurythmics (the other half being David Stewart). They wrote the song which was intended as a feminist anthem. However, it was also criticized for containing some clichés about women in its lyrics by the A.V. Club, an entertainment newspaper and website published by The Onion. Oh well........still a great piece of music!

Here are the LYRICS:

Now there was a time

When they used to say

That behind every great man

There had to be a great woman

Oh 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

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

Has got a new exterior, yeah

We got doctors, lawyers

Politicians too, ooh, hoo

Everybody, take a look around

Can you see, can you see, can you see

There's a woman right next to you, ooh hoo

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

We ain't making stories

We ain't laying plans

Don't you know thaa

A man still loves a woman

When a woman still loves a man

Just the same way (or 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

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

Come on, girl

Go for it, go for it

Sisters are doing it for themselves

...come on girl

Sisters are doing it , doing it

Doing it, doing it, doing it, doing it

Sisters are doing it for themselves

Doing it, doing it, doing it, doing it
