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?’

@@georgeroyal Absolutely!
Firmly believe this part was written by Annie Clark.
can you imagine how successful this song would have been if it was the lead single...
Facts.
Me! Is better tho
It’s an after album single, but it should have been either Lover, Cornelia Street, Paper Rings, The Man, And Cruel Summer.

The upbeat tempo,the catchy chorus,and the way she captures the thrill of a passionate romance - it's all so captivating.Whether you're dancing in your room or driving with the windows down,this song just hits differently.
Well said 🩷

Same
Same. This was my most listened song on Spotify this year.
to: taylor swift, it's never too late to make cruel summer music video
I agree

I just read something, the team did planned everything for Cruel Summer. But Covid happened and the lyrics are too similar so if they released it, it would be quite insensitive to the situation. BUT I do hope there will be a justice for Cruel Summer in the future 🥲.
.
0:25 love the chorus
True
Love you Taylor
Cruel summer now has 2B streams on spotify. It's her first song to have 2B streams on spotify 🤍
Ikr I was saying that too.🎉👏
😮 Hi taylor it's me ariana to hio I am so cool with you and I am subscribed to your channel and I am so happy that you're here with us and that you love my channels and cause I just love you
@@Crystal-nd6pu are you okay??
How many people need music video of this song
@Dragon Ball Super 2018 me siento mal :'(
I guess 617 people
PLEASE
@@jackietrinket4659 Yess por favor!!
I'd watch it a few times lol
Listening to cruel summer in a cruel summer>>>>>>>>>>
🤣
ikr
listening to heartbreak weather in this Heartbreaking weather, listening to Tis' the damn season in this damn season, SUMMER'S a 🔪
THAT’S WHAT I WAS THINKING!!!
i knew it
Its always been my favorite ❤
Your music saved my life
🤔🤔🤔🤔
The fact that Taylor chose ME!ss as lead single when this song was RIGHT THERE... the audacity.
Mr Brightside Yeah but she probably choose Me because it was a collaboration and Me! got 65.2 million views on the first day so it does make sense.
and because Reputation procedes Me!
ME! Have more chances to show easter egg etc Cruel summer is basically reputation baby, ni transition from rep from lover
Mr Brightside she’s probably waiting until summer to release it. It’s a summer song. Trust me.
Summer N. Me!ss was released on spring, after that in the summer she released YNTCD instead. I don’t see her releasing Cruel Summer for next summer as well.
"I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you" that line is so underrated, it's so powerful
yeah
YESS
@KAR YI MOK same
ikr... it's a feeling that she captured so well, but i mean she's taylor swift it's what she does
It makes me cheer every time I hear it.
My favorite song ❤😊🎉
My fav song from Taylor Swift
1989: style Reputation: Getaway car Lover: cruel summer
Perfect travel songs
Yasss that was i thought too
Harry Tom Joe Three London Boys
YESSS OMFG FINALLY STYLE GETS THE RECOGNITION IT DESERVES but I think reputations Best is delicate and yes cruel summer is the best from this album Edit: I like lover as much or maybe more but both songs are great!
Something something with the Car
Dear Taylor Swift, It's never too late to make a music video for cruel summer Sincerely, A fan of cruel summer
Ahahaha you are so cute! 🤩💘
Yes Taylor! Please make a music video for cruel summer.
Yas yas yasss
absolute facts
Actually it’s- Sincerely, All the damn swifties on earth
This is the first song I like from Taylor swift
The bridge is the best part🩷💕💞💓💗💖💘💝
"Cruel Summer" is the most underrated iconic song of taylor swift
So true!
It's not underrated. But 100% iconic
Don't forget " Don't Blame Me"
facts
You forgot Clean
The best song on the album already
Is The Man wbk
Cornelia street
It’s nice to have a friend cry of your commentary
ikr... I'm 18 and I make music too. Taylor is a huge inspiration to me. give me a chance if u want, I won't disappoint
Still taking everything in but every song I've listened to has been beautiful but special shout out to miss americana and the heartbreak prince
This song deserves an official music video
straight facts
I think it's too late, unfortunately it flopped in 2019 so the label didn't go with a music video
@@hichamidrisi1344 You are right
I swear this song plays in my head for every book I read 😢
Wow 🤯
“You know the greatest films of all time were never made”
OMG FACTS
I-
:(
yesssss exactly!! Karlie Kloss??
And the greatest loves of all time are over now. Lover era ending was signalled there probably
Lover: Releases in August, has a song titled “Cruel Summer” folklore: Releases in a cruel summer, has a song titled “August”
WOW ACTUALLY
This comment deserves more attention
im here before its 200 likes. just wait. it'll be.

I love you, Taylor Swift
I fr hate those people who are like " I like mE, CRUEL SUMMER AND LOVE STORY... AND YOU BELONG WITH ME!!!" those are the only songs they know mannnn
Taylor: oh.. y’all want a MV? How bout an album instead
😭😭😭😭
😭😭😭💔
Like Getaway Car 🚗
cruel summer joins getaway car ,i did something bad ,,dont blame me in the graveyard
Still, I want MV for this song. Such a waste.
Taylor ma'am I know Folklore era is coming but the audience still wants a Cruel Summer mv 🥺
so sad lover era is over😭

And a Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince one....
this is out of topic but why does your youtube header look familiar to me??

Taylor released her new album tdy but can't beat lover. That's my all time fav😫❤️
This should be a single Taylor. Please make this your next single. Edit: To the 5.3k who liked this comment, the time has come! Let's support Ms. Taylor on the 20th!
After that pls stream make this song top 10 Hot Billboard.. ✌🏼
@@acoi900 top 1 on Billboard Hot 100. We will do it!!
@@ajsc11 it's not that easy tho.
@@skeiotoneskeis3056 yeah but this is the best pop song of Taylor, man. Better than Shake It Off and Blank Space.
@@ajsc11 if she promotes...
I hope this becomes a single or it will be like Getaway Car all over again...
She left easter eggs for Cruel Summer in YNTCD video and Amazon Music promo so I hope this'll be her next single.
This is literally the continuation of that story in Getaway Car. LOL
Getaway Car 2.0 needs a mv to make up for last time, Please!
King of my Heart and Getaway Car DESERVED A MV! 🙌🙌
@@sydneysummers5290 ahh I really hope so!!
I love Taylor swift.
i love this song
So glad Olivia is a Swiftie she gave us a cruel summer sister
truee
she even gave us the cruel summer mv we never got ToT
It's truly déjà vu.
@@eliasluhana9163 she knew what she was doing when she named it that way
@@eliasluhana9163 true lol
This song suffered the same fate like All Too Well and Getaway Car. We Swifties asked for MV but Taylor gave us an album. Hahaha! Can't wait for Folklore!
Exactly
And of speak now too
FOLKLORE IS OUT NOW
I HAVE A HUGE GUT FEELING AUGUST WILL END UP HAVING THE SAME FATE AS THOSE AFOREMENTIONED SONGS
@@somawasthi2729 gyhjko
Cruel summer is the best among all
Olivia: I kept quiet so I could keep you Taylor: I don’t wanna keep secrets just to keep you
Ok this comment just changed my feeling that Olivia and Taylor are NOT the same.
Not to be rude, but y do you guys always mention her on Taylor's songs?
@@theera6666 Okay and? They’re not comparing the two. They’re pointing out contrasts and similarities in lyrics between a veteran artist and a newer artist who was inspired by Taylor. Is that a problem?
@@Teemo6544 No it is not a problem, it's just that they always mention her on Taylor's song. Which is so wrong, it's kind of disrespectful to mention her in Taylor songs, to her and Taylor.
@@theera6666 It’s not disrespectful. I’m sure if Olivia and Taylor saw these comments they would be happy. How about consider what is actually disrespectful and what is not? Being disrespectful is comparing them in a competitive way or putting one down to uplift the other. And considering Olivia stated that her song was literally inspired by cruel summer and added Taylor to the writing credits, I don’t see a reason to just make a notice of the lyrics. It’s really not that deep
If this doesn't become a Single..we swifites ride at dawn
Skedts where we goin, brokeback mountain?
Are We Goin' To Mount Everest?
James she will, but this summer
😂😂😂☠️☠️☠️
i think this would be single .. out at this summer .. 😎❤️
Thank you St Vincent for the collab 😎😍
insane vocals fr
getaway car: who are you? cruel summer: im you but pinker.
yesyesyes
Cruel Summer : im you but possibly gonna be a single
@@dylanlexianoaurian8908 both of them are masterpieces, getaway car should have been a single too.

Cruel Summer is the sequel to Getaway Car.
Dear Taylor Alison Swift, Whole nation are waiting for Cruel Summer's music video. We will never give up on waiting.
Whole nation?! The entire world you must mean
the entire universe you mean
A cruel summer music video would literally cure my depression
Been waiting since the release of this song huhu
Yes!
Taylor swift has vibes amazing
I LOVE THE THE BEAT
It would be SO CRUEL if she does not make a music video for this song!
stfu

@@ender8472 I hope so.
@@ender8472 really?
Don't they all 😍
Venedict Lee hope so 😭😭😭 I really wanna see an MV of ‘Cruel Summer’
The parallel between All Too Well Taylor's "You kept me like a secret, while I kept you like an oath" and Cruel Summer's "I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you" is so amazing to me and so underrated! The growth and the fact that she learned secrets are just a no-go. And in this essay I will-
Being in the closet is heart breaking.
@@adaswedentr slr but im sorry you can't be who you truly are simply because people don't make you feel safe enough to do so and you feel like you'd lose more than what you would gain. sending the biggest hug rn and a belated pride month to u (yes closeted people should be celebrated and celebrate pride too)!! ♡♡

I'm late to the T.Swift party, but this song is kind of a banger, as the kids say!
keep going taylor swift
I thought that 1989 was the perfect album of my life until I heard LOVER.
saame
Lets just say that ALL of her albums are perfection😍😘👌👌
Omg i AM love with this one✊😔💜💜
😂
I love all her albums, i consider all of them "Perfect" in my opinion. I love this album, but the videos for "Lover" and "You need to calm down" in my opinion were TERRIBLE. Hopefully if she released a video for this one it's better, it deserves better!
This song sounds like it would be at the end of an epic teen movie
Trueeeerr
I challenge this: Paper Rings would be at the end of an epic teen 2000’s teen movie.
highkey love simon vibes
After ...
Ella _4896 no teen movie is “epic”
So great, can't stop humming!
Love this song
RIP Cruel Summer as a single 2019-2020
Joining Getaway Car! 😭
'm kinda confused what's the difference between a single and it just being on the album, its the same song either way, i don't get why everyone wants it to be a single if its already released.
rest in peace. 😔
Yws

The "oohwuh, its a cruel summer." Sounds soo romantic and fantasy-ish. Idk i just kind of feel passionate at that beat.
And then it’s on the summer I turned pretty
idk for me it kinda sounds painful especially with the upbeat tone, it feels like she's trying to tell she's fine and happy but she's miserable inside
It is pretty
Ur not alone

Lyrics are hard to sing wew 😭😭😭😭😭
When Taylor drops the whole album right now. Lol
Hnin Yadana Zaw HAHAHAHAHAH
It reminds me of what Ed Sheeran did before
why did she do it? wont it have the album sales decrease? since its basically free now?
Machi Giceb yeah im actually thinking about that..
I think she is just seeing what song gets the most views to see which one to endorse more and sing more at concerts and things like that and I think she will probably take it down soon so then people hear it they like it they can’t hear it online anymore so they but it
Yesss. Taylor
Slay taylor
Anyone getting "Out Of the woods" and "Getaway car" vibes ? ❤🔥🔥🔥🔥
When She released Getaway Car, I also thought that it had the same vibes as Out of the woods. When I heard Cruel Summer for the first time, I thought of Getaway Car. Then I ‘ve read the comments, i wasn’t the only one ❤️❤️❤️
Talaat Ja I agree 😢😘🥰😍
Riding a Getaway Car to get Out Of The Woods in a Cruel Summer. Seems fitting. 😉
When Out Of The Woods, Style, Getaway Car throw a party
And I Did Something Bad
I was not over with simping over reputation, but she released Lover. I'm not done with reputation and lover but she released folklore. I'm still panicking over folklore, but she released evermore. I just feel like I'm going to burst Edit: Fearless re-recording 🤯 Edit: Ya'll why is Taylor doing this to us I was preparing myself for RED and she just freakin dropped Wildest Dreams bruh what is this
