This is what makes us girls.

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 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... (x2)

I love this song because I feel so identified with what it says and I like so much Lana's voice. 

It speaks about teenagers life and tell things that people don't want to speak, it's so clear with the missage what it will transmit.

I can say that I wish have one best friend like Lana, because she understand her best friend and they both do really crazy things. Live without crazy things, is rather boring!
