So You Think You Can Dance - This Is What Makes Us Girls lyrics

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 whaaat!" 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. (repeat x2)
