I like the melody but never realized how goofy the lyrics are and so over-rated. It's weird that many pre-teens and teens are screaming this song at her concerts.
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've got And it's ooh, whoa, oh It's a cruel summer It's cool, that's what I tell 'em No rules in breakable heaven But ooh, whoa oh It's a cruel summer With you Hang your head low In the glow of the vending machine I'm not dying You 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 Oh, it's new, the shape of your body It's blue, the feeling I've got And it's ooh, whoa, oh It's a cruel summer It's cool, that's what I tell 'em No rules in breakable heaven But ooh, whoa, oh It's a cruel summer With you I'm drunk in the back of the car And I cried like a baby coming home from the bar (oh) Said, "I'm fine, " but it wasn't true I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you And I snuck in through the garden gate Every night that summer just to seal my fate (oh) And I screamed for whatever it's worth "I love you, " ain't that the worst thing you ever heard? He looks up grinning like a devil It's new, the shape of your body It's blue, the feeling I've got And it's ooh, whoa, oh It's a cruel summer It's cool, that's what I tell 'em No rules, in breakable heaven But ooh, whoa, oh It's a cruel summer With you I'm drunk in the back of the car And I cried like a baby coming home from the bar (h) Said, "I'm fine, " but it wasn't true I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you And I snuck in through the garden gate Every night that summer just to seal my fate (oh) And I screamed for whatever it's worth "I love you, " ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?
I have my own *cruel summer* boy. Met him even before summer started here in PH. Realized that we have similarities, near life events and coincidents. IDK. We did some sort of things as well. It ended, though, I ended it in a bad way. Im still thinking about him up to this day.
She's definitely firing on all cylinders in this song. By far the best song she's made to date, IMHO. Making a hit like this again will be difficult. I look forward to her attempt to outdo herself.
never looked closely to the lyrics though the song ranked as the top 5 most listened to of my 2022playlists. Realized today in hindsight that I had a cruel summer with a cruel summer boy last year exactly as depicted by the lyrics. How could Taylor write with such precision the feeling of desperation and pain when wanting a bad boy you should never have wanted in the first place
Why does this song make me so damn crazy and bipolar? 😳 It's actually tough to nail some of those high, slurred notes! Then, I can't sing with too much passion, or some dumbass will knock on my wall invading my humbling performance... 😂
আমি তোমাকে ভালোবাসি, এটা কি তোমার শোনা সবচেয়ে খারাপ কথা নয়?' Lyrics: 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?’
