This Is What Makes Us Girls
[Verse 1: Lana Del Rey]Remember how we used to party up all nightSneaking out and looking for a taste of real lifeDrinking in the small town firelight(Pabst Blue Ribbon on ice)Sweet sixteen and we had arrivedWalking down the streets as they whistle, "Hi, hi!"Stealin' police cars with the senior guysTeachers said we'd never make it out aliveThere she was my new best friendHigh heels in her hands, swayin' in the windWhile she starts to cry, mascara runnin' down her little Bambi eyes:"Lana, how I hate those guys."
[Hook: Lana Del Rey]This is what makes us girlsWe all look for heaven and we put love firstIt's something that we die for, it's a curseDon't cry about it, don't cry about itThis is what makes us girlsWe don't stick together 'cause we put love firstDon't cry about him, don't cry about himIt's all gonna happen
[Verse 2: Lana Del Rey]And that's where the beginning of the end begunEverybody knew that we had too much funWe were skippin' school and drinkin' on the job(With the boss)Sweet sixteen and we had arrivedBaby's table dancin' at the local diveCheerin' our names in the pink spotlightDrinkin' cherry schnapps in the velvet nightYo we used to go break inTo the hotel pool, glimmer and we’d swimRunnin' from the cops in our black bikini topsScreaming, "Get us while we're hot. Get us while we're hot"(Come on take a shot)
[Hook: Lana Del Rey]This is what makes us girlsWe all look for heaven and we put love firstIt's something that we die for, it's a curseDon't cry about it, don't cry about itThis is what makes us girlsWe don't stick together 'cause we put love firstDon't cry about him, don't cry about himIt's all gonna happen
[Outro: Lana Del Rey]The prettiest in crowd that you had ever seenRibbons in our hair and our eyes gleamed meanA freshmen generation of degenerate beauty queensAnd you know something?They were the only friends I ever hadWe got into trouble and when stuff got badI got sent away, I was waving on the train platformCrying cause I know I'm never comin' back
[Hook: Lana Del Rey]This is what makes us girlsWe all look for heaven and we put love firstIt's something that we die for, it's a curseDon't cry about it, don't cry about itThis is what makes us girlsWe don't stick together 'cause we put love firstDon't cry about him, don't cry about himIt's all gonna happen
