This Is What Makes Us Girls

Remember how we used to party up all night Sneaking out and looking for a taste of real life Drinking in the small town firelight Pabst Blue Ribbon on ice Sweet sixteen and we had arrived Walking down the streets as they whistle Hi hi Stealin' police cars with the senior guys Teachers said we'd never make it out alive There she was my new best friend High heels in her hands swayin' in the wind While she starts to cry mascara runnin' down her little Bambi eyes Lana how I hate those guys This is what makes us girls We all look for heaven and we put our love first Somethin' that we'd die for it's our curse Don't cry about it don't cry about it This is what makes us girls We don't stick together 'cause we put our love first Don't cry about him don't cry about him It's all gonna happen And that's where the beginning of the end begun Everybody knew that we had too much fun We were skippin' school and drinkin' on the job With the boss Sweet sixteen and we had arrived Baby's table dancin' at the local dive Cheering our names in the pink spotlight Drinkin' cherry schnapps in the velvet night Yo we used to go break in To the hotel glimmer and we’d swim Runnin' from the cops in our black bikini tops Screaming Get us while we're hot Get us while we're hot Come on take a shot This is what makes us girls We all look for heaven and we put our love first Somethin' that we'd die for it's our curse Don't cry about it don't cry about it This is what makes us girls We don't stick together 'cause we put our love first Don't cry about him don't cry about him It's all gonna happen The prettiest in crowd that you had ever seen Ribbons in our hair and our eyes gleamed mean A freshmen generation of degenerate beauty queens And you know something They were the only friends I ever had We got into trouble and when stuff got bad I got sent away I was waving on the train platform Crying 'cause I know I'm never comin' back This is what makes us girls We all look for heaven and we put our love first Somethin' that we'd die for it's our curse Don't cry about it don't cry about it This is what makes us girls We don't stick together 'cause we put our love first Don't cry about him don't cry about him It's all gonna happen
