Lyrics
- Lisa:
- I'm so excited, this is great!
- Now there was a time
- When we used to say-ay
- That behind every great man
- There had to be a great woman.
- Ann Wilson:
- Oh, times have changed.
- You know it's no longer true.
- Nancy Wilson:
- We're comin' out in the kitchen,
- 'Cause there's something we forgot to say to you!
- Lisa, Ann and Nancy Wilson:
- Sisters are doin' it for themselves.
- Lisa:
- Oh, yeah!
- Nancy Wilson:
- Standin' on their own two feet
- And ringing on their own bells
- Lisa, Ann and Nancy Wilson:
- Sisters are doin' it for themselves.
- Lisa:
- Now this is a song
- To celebrate...
- Lisa and Nancy Wilson:
- The conscious liberation
- Of the female state.
- Ann Wilson:
- Mama and her daughter,
- And all of their daughters too...
- Lisa and Ann Wilson:
- Woman to woman...
- Ann Wilson:
- We're all singing along with you.

- And ringing on their own bells
- Lisa, Ann and Nancy Wilson:

- Nancy Wilson:
- 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!
- (guitar solo)
- Lisa:
- This is incredible! Female power!
- Lisa, Ann and Nancy Wilson:
- Sisters are doin' it for themselves.
- Lisa:
- The inferior sex
- Has got a new exterior.
- Ann and Nancy Wilson:
- We got doctors and lawyers...
- Ann Wilson:
- And politicians, too, yeah!
- Hey now, everybody,
- Take a look around!
- Lisa, Ann and Nancy Wilson:
- Can you see, can you see, can you see me?
- Ann Wilson:
- There's a woman standin' right next to you!
- Lisa, Ann and Nancy Wilson:
- Sisters are doin' it for themselves.
- Standin' on their own two feet
- And ringing on their own bells
