This Is What Makes Us Girls - Lana 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
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
Cheerin our names
in the pink spotlight
Drinkin' cherry schnapps
in the velvet night
Yo we used to go break in
To the hotel pool
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
