Sisters Are Doin' It For Themselves


by Aretha Franklin (with Eurythmics)





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 that


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 itDoes anyone know of lryics that show changing gender roles, or like a stregnth within women?
Ciara- Like a Boy





Pull up your pants


(Just Like Em')


Take out the trash


(Just Like Em')


You can dig cash like em'


Fast like em'


Girl you outta act like ya dig


(What I'm talkin' bout')


Security codes on everything


Vibrate so your phone don't ever ring


(Joint Account)


And another one he don't know about





[Hook]


Wish we could switch up the roles


And I could be that...


Tell you I love you


But when you call I never get back


Would you ask them questions like me?...


Like where you be at?


Cause I'm out 4 in the morning


On the corna roll'n


Do'n my own thing


Ohh





[Chorus]


What if I?


Had a thing on the side?


Made ya cry?


Would the rules change up?


Or would they still apply?


If I played you like a toy?


Sometimes I wish I could act like a boy





Can't be get'n mad!


What You Mad?


Can't Handle that!


Can't be get'n mad!


What you mad?


Can't handle that!





Girl go head and be...


(Just Like Em')


Go run the streets


(Just Like Em')


Come home late say sleep like em'


Creep like em'


Front with ya friends


Act hard when you're with em' like em'


(What)


Keep a straight face when ya tell a lie


Always keep an anti-alibi


(Keep Him In The Dark)


What he don't know won't break his heart





[Hook]


Wish we could switch up the roles


And I could be that...


Tell you I love you


But when you call I never get back


Would you ask them questions like me?...


Like where you be at?


Cause I'm out 4 in the morning


On the corna roll'n


Do'n my own thing


Yeah





[Chorus]


What if I?


Had a thing on the side?


Made ya cry?


Would the rules change up?


Or would they still apply?


If I played you like a toy?


Sometimes I wish I could act like a boy





Can't be get'n mad!


What You Mad?


Can't Handle that!


Can't be get'n mad!


What you mad?


Can't handle that!


Can't be get'n mad!


What you mad?


Can't handle that!


Can't be get'n mad!


What you mad?


Can't handle that!





[Bridge]


If I was always gone


With the sun get'n home


(Would Ya Like That?)


Told you I was with my crew


When I knew it wasn't true


(Would Ya Like That?)


If I act like you


Walk A mile off in yo shoes


(Would Ya Like That?)


I'm mess'n with your head again


Dose of your own medicine





[Chorus]


What if I?


Had a thing on the side?


Made ya cry?


Would the rules change up?


Or would they still apply?


If I played you like a toy?


Sometimes I wish I could act like a boy





Can't be get'n mad!


What You Mad?


Can't Handle that!


Can't be get'n mad!


What you mad?


Can't handle that!


Can't be get'n mad!


What you mad?


Can't handle that!


Can't be get'n mad!


What you mad?


Can't handle that!





If I played you...


Would yo like that?


Had friends...


Would you like that?


Nother car?


Would you like that?


Hell naw


You wouldn't like that


No!





What if I made ya cry!


Would they still apply!


What if I...


If I played you like a toy


Sometimes I wish I could act like a boy!
