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
Cheering our names in the pink spotlight
Drinkin' cherry schnapps in the velvet night
Yo we used to go break in
To the hotel glimmer and we'd swim
Runnin' from the cops in our black bikini tops
Screaming Get us while we're hot
We don't give more
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
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
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
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
