| Remember how we used to party up all night
|
| Sneakin' 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 street 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 don’t look for heaven and we put our 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 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
|
| Know we used to go break in
|
| To the hotel pool, glittering we’d swim
|
| Runnin' from the cops in our black bikini tops
|
| Screaming, Get us while we’re hot, We don’t give a what
|
| This is what makes us girls
|
| We don’t look for heaven and we put our 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 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 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 don’t look for heaven and we put our 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
|
| Darlin' little queens do you know what you’re worth?
|
| I’ll tell you everyday till you get it, girl
|
| It’s all gonna happen
|
| This is what makes us girls now, baby.
|
| This is why we rule the world now, baby.
|
| This is what makes us girls now, baby.
|
| Why we rule the world now, baby, oh. |
