We were made to be more than just awake

We are the tired ones
Tired of too much sleep
Tired of searching for
Two words we can't repeat
Don't mean to scare you but it's
Getting too warm and I
Think I'm gonna move to the door

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 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 all 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

Yo we used to go break in
to the hotel pool, glimmer and we’d swim
Runnin' 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 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 all 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
We all stick together 'cause we put our love first
Don't cry about him, don't cry about him
It's all gonna happen

Fairfax

You're still shakin'
With your ass down on Fairfax
You're out so late
But nobody said that you are so late

Your friends come hot
With plenty of cocaine
But you don't hate
Who's got your back on the night you hesitate

You could talk all night
Your mascara paints my bed
Well it can't be right
But that's the only way
That I can get you wet

Well it's all over now
And you're still the same
But I'm still, I'm still okay
Well you got me down
I was so ashamed
But you're still, you're still the same

I see you looking for your face on the TV
And you're smiling back
But you never looked at anyone real like that

Why'd you think that I was so unwilling
You loved me so hard
And it's hard to love
When you don't know who you are

Say you wanna be saved
But all your friends are villians
Oh you hate your way
Why do you cut yourself - to feel it

Well it's all over now
And you're still the same
But I'm still, I'm still okay
Well you got me down
I was so to blame
And you're still, you're still the same

All the boy can do is make you mad
What's wrong with that
You say you need a man to understand
But I'm all you have
Woah..

Well it's all over now
And you're still the same
But I'm still, I'm still okay
And you got me down
I'm the only one to blame
Cause you're still, you're still the same

Well it's all over now
I wish you to stay
Well I'm still, I'm still okay
And you got me down
But I'm not ashamed
Caused you're still, you're still, you're still..
The same
