Official ‘Cruel Summer’ Lyrics
Written by Taylor Swift, Jack Antonoff & Annie Clark
Fever dream high in the quiet of the night
You know that I caught it
bad bad boy
Shiny toy, with a price
You know that I bought it
killing me slow
Out the window
I’m always waiting for you to be waiting below Devils roll the dice
Angels roll their eyes
What doesn’t kill me
Makes me want you more And it’s new
The shape of your body
It’s blue
The feeling I got and it’s
Ooh
It’s a cruel summer
It’s cool
That’s what I tell ‘em
No rules in breakable heaven but
Ooh
It’s a cruel summer
With you Hang your head low
In the glow of the vending machine
I’m not dying
We say that we’ll just screw
it up in these trying times
We’re not trying
So cut the headlights
Summer’s a knife
I’m always waiting for you just to cut to the bone
Devils roll the dice
Angels roll their eyes
And if I bleed you’ll be the last to know Chorus I’m drunk in the back of the car
And I cried like a baby coming home from the bar
Said ‘I’m fine’ but it wasn’t true
I don’t want to keep secrets
Just to keep you
And I snuck in through the garden gate every night that summer
Just to seal my fate
And I scream ‘For whatever it’s worth,
I love you, ain’t that the worst thing you ever heard?’ He looks up grinning like a devil Chorus I’m drunk in the back of the car
And I cried like a baby coming home from the bar
Said ‘I’m fine’ but it wasn’t true
I don’t want to keep secrets
Just to keep you
And I snuck in through the garden gate every night that summer
Just to seal my fate
And I scream ‘For whatever it’s worth,
I love you, ain’t that the worst thing you ever heard?’

Her voice when she sings “He looks up grinning like a devil” though 😮😍

[@nagisaalia7779]

this whole time i thought she said "he looks so pretty like a devil" lmao oops

[@kimberlyarmes9805]

I think when she goes back and records her old songs she should really play up her growl that has matured with age.

[@itscalebbarrera]

Kimberly Armes I don’t think she’s remastering this album cause she already owns it

[@katherinlan]

Real

[@shalakaj523]

nope nope nope. the motel bar is different. i think this connects to the dive bar on the east side from delicate. its a cruel summer coz she's falling for this guy, and shes keeping it casual and telling everyone its not a big deal but it is. and since this is so casual- i love you aint that the worst thing you ever heard is a difficult thing to say but he looks up grinning like a devil coz she finally confessed. but she doesnt want to keep secrets to keep him- however it is a breakable heaven for everyone else.

taylor swift's song are getting harder for me to sing..especially songs that has a falsetto like this ..ugh whyy

Agree. Her best asset is her falsetto, she effortlessly do it. The growl also 😍

[@LeraEluna]

"I love you, ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?" - Taylor Swift

[@s.b.7121]

My theory about "BLUE" being in so many songs from "Lover": I know blue is Joe's favourite color, but I think it may be a clue that they're getting married between the end of this era and the beginning of the next - and her next album's title could be "SOMETHING BLUE". Like they say: "something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue".
And, in "Lover", she says that her heart has been BORROWED and that his has been BLUE ... Coincidence? I think not!

[@kimberlyarmes9805]

S. B. I think she doesn’t believe in the concept of a traditional wedding and will probably never formally marry. Instead she used Lover as her vows to Joe and considers them “married” without needing to flaunt it or make it legal.

[@ayunizikeri3571]

Sembanglah kau.

[@micakoleensuan596]

But I'm thinking of Karlie Kross in most of her songs in this album Lover.

[@admiralaralani]

@@micakoleensuan596 karlie kross, karlie kloss' gay and disgruntled twin sister

[@cath1054]

References to "blue" in Taylor's songs relate to Joni Mitchell's Blue album. 'The Lucky One' from Taylor's RED album was inspired by Joni Mitchell's Blue album, that's what I think anyway.

[@sakhrworld6206]

“He looks up grinning like a devil” sounds like Miley Cyrus

[@Tiffany-iq8ex]

When I searched for this song, I originally looked up the lyric + Miley Cyrus

[@kenmakozume6148]

I looked it up expecting miley but I got Taylor

[@divyagorityala]

Damn yes! For that part i always imagine Miley😂...then I feel happy coz Taylor can sing any genre(rock feels I get)
