Lana Del Rey — This Is What Makes Us Girls

[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 we'd 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 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) [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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) [Chorus] 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) [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 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 [Chorus] 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
