THIS IS WHAT MAKES US GIRLS~L. Del Rey
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"
Stealing police girls with the senior guys
Teachers said we'd never make it out alive
There she was, my new best friend
High heels in her hand, swaying in the wind
Oh, she starts to cry..mascara running 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 love first
Don't you know we'd die for it?
It's a curse
Don't cry about it, don't cry about it
This is what makes us girls
We all stick together because we put love first
Don't cry about her, don't cry about her
It's all going to happen
And that's where the beginning of the end began
Everybody knew that we had too much fun
We we're skipping school and drinking on the job with the boss
Sweet 16 and we had arrived
Baby's table-dancing at the local dive
Cheering our names in the pink spotlight
Drinking cherry schnapps in the velvet night
Yeah we used to go break into the hotel
Pool glimmering we'd swim
Running from the cops in our black bikini tops
Screaming, "Get us while we're hot"
We don't give a whaaat?
The prettiest in-crowd that you've ever seen
Ribbons in our hair and our eyes gleamed mean
A freshman generation of degenerate debutante beauty queens
And you want to know something?
They were the only friends I ever had
We got into trouble and when stuff got bad
I got sent away and was waving on the train platform
Crying, because I know that I'm never coming back
This is what makes us girls
To all the little queens...do you know what your worth?
I'll tell you everyday until you get it, girl
It's all going to happen.
