[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
Remember how we used to party up all night?
~#**************#~
Sneakin out, lookin for a taste of real life
~#**************#~
Drinkin in the small town firelight
~#**************#~
(Pabst Blue Ribbon on ice)
~#**************#~
Sweet sixteen and we had arrived
~#**************#~
Walkin down the streets as they whistle, “Hi, hi”
~#**************#~
Stealin police cars with the senior guys
~#**************#~
Teachers said wed never make it out alive
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
There she was, my new best friend
~#**************#~
High heels in her hand, swayin in the wind
~#**************#~
Oh, she starts to cry, mascara runnin down her little Bambi eyes
~#**************#~
“Lana, how I hate those guys”
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
This is what makes us girls
~#**************#~
We all look for heaven and we put love first
~#**************#~
Somethin that wed die for, its a curse
~#**************#~
Dont cry about it, dont cry about it
~#**************#~
This is what makes us girls
~#**************#~
We dont stick together cause we put love first
~#**************#~
Dont cry about him, dont cry about him
~#**************#~
Its all gonna happen
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
And thats 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
~#**************#~
Babys table dancin at the local dive
~#**************#~
Cheerin our names in the pink spotlight
~#**************#~
Drinkin Cherry Schnapps in the velvet night
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
Yo, we used to go break into the hotel
~#**************#~
Glimmerin, wed swim
~#**************#~
Runnin from the cops in our black bikini tops
~#**************#~
Screamin, “Get us while were hot, get us while were hot”
~#**************#~
(Cmon, take a shot)
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
This is what makes us girls
~#**************#~
We all look for heaven and we put love first
~#**************#~
Somethin that wed die for, its a curse
~#**************#~
Dont cry about it, dont cry about it
~#**************#~
This is what makes us girls
~#**************#~
We dont stick together cause we put love first
~#**************#~
Dont cry about him, dont cry about him
~#**************#~
Its all gonna happen
~#**************#~
[Bridge]
~#**************#~
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 somethin?
~#**************#~
[Verse 3]
~#**************#~
They were the only friends I ever had
~#**************#~
We got into trouble and when stuff got bad
~#**************#~
I got sent away, I was wavin on the train platform
~#**************#~
Cryin cause I know Im never comin back
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
This is what makes us girls
~#**************#~
We all look for heaven and we put love first
~#**************#~
Somethin that wed die for, its a curse
~#**************#~
Dont cry about it, dont cry about it
~#**************#~
This is what makes us girls
~#**************#~
We dont stick together cause we put love first
~#**************#~
Dont cry about him, dont cry about him
~#**************#~
Its all gonna happen, oh
