This Is What Makes Us Girls Lyrics


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!"
Stealing police cars with the senior guys
Teachers said we'd never make it out aliveThere she was, my new best friend
High heels in her hands, swaying in the wind
Oh, she starts to cry
Mascara running 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 love first
Something that we'd die for
It's our curse
Don't cry about it
Don't cry about itThis 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 happenAnd that's where the beginning of the end begun
Everybody knew that we had too much fun
We were skipping school and drinking on the job
With the bossSweet Sixteen and we had arrived
Babies table-dancing at the local dive
Cheering our names in the pink spotlight
Drinking cherry schnapps in the velvet nightYeah we used to go break in
To the hotel, glimmerin' we'd swim
Running from the cops in our black bikini tops
Screaming, "Get us while we're hot,
Get us while we're hot"
(Come on, take a shot)This is what makes us girls
We all look for heaven and we put love first
Something that we'd die for
It's our curse
Don't cry about it
Don't cry about itThis 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
Its all gonna happenThe prettiest in-crowd that you had ever seen
Ribbons in our hair and our eyes gleamed mean
A freshman generation of degenerate beauty queensAnd 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 a train platform
Crying 'cause I know I'm never coming backThis is what makes us girls
We all look for heaven and we put love first
Something that we'd die for
It's our curse
Don't cry about it
Don't cry about itThis 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

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Elizabeth "Lizzy" Grant (born 21 June 1986), better known as Lana Del Rey, is a singer-songwriter from Lake Placid, New York, United States. Del Rey is known for embellishing her songs and music videos with an eerily nostalgic vibe heavy on Americana themes, including images of surfing, Coney Island, Frank Sinatra, and Marilyn Monroe. She has also listed a large number of her artistic influences, including Allen Ginsberg, Elvis Presley, Britney Spears, Nina Simone, Nirvana, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, The Beach Boys, Antony and the Johnsons, actor and filmmaker John Waters, artists Mark Ryden and Marilyn Minter, and photographers Juergen Teller and Philip-Lorca diCorcia.

Grant released her first professionally produced body of work in 2010, an EP entitled Kill Kill, as Lizzy Grant via Five Points Records with producer David Kahne. It was available for purchase on iTunes for a brief period before being withdrawn for unknown reasons. Soon after, Del Rey released a self-titled collection of songs, Lana Del Rey, for electronic download.

In June 2011, Del Rey was signed with Stranger Records and issued the “Video Games” single, and in October 2011 she signed with Interscope Records.
