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
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
Then 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
Something 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
Cheerin' 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
Something 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
Something 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
This is what makes us girls
We all look for Heaven and we put our love first
Something 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
Sneaking out and looking for a taste of real life
Drinking in the small town firelight
