[Lana Del Rey - This Is What Makes Us Girls lyrics]

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 we'd never make it out alive

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"

This is what makes us girls
We all look for heaven and we put love first
Something that we'd die for, it's a 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 love first
Don't cry about him, don't cry about him
It's all gonna happen (Happen, 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

Yeah, we used to go break into the hotel
Glimmering, we'd swim
Running from the cops in
Our black bikini tops
Screamin', "Get us while we're hot
Get us while we're hot" (C'mon, take a shot)

This is what makes us girls
We all look for heaven and we put love first
Something that we'd die for, it's a 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 love first
Don't cry about him, don't cry about him
It's all gonna happen (Happen, 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 wavin' on the train platform
Cryin' 'cause I know I'm never comin' back

This is what makes us girls
We all look for heaven and we put love first
Something that we'd die for, it's a 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 love first
Don't cry about him, don't cry about him
It's all gonna happen, oh
