I have a different version, the end is completely different..

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 Teacher said we'd never make it out alive

There she was my little 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 love first It's something that we'd die for, 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 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 Babys 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, glimmering 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 don't look for heaven and we put love first It's something that we'd die for, 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 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 love first It's something that we'd die for, 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 love first Don't cry about him, don't cry about him It's all gonna happen
