Eurythmics and Aretha Franklin

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 doctorslawyerspoliticians 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)
