Berikut lirik lagu "Cruel Summer" dari Taylor Swift:

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Fever dream high in the quiet of the night
You know that I caught it (Oh yeah, you're right, I want it)
Bad, bad boy, shiny toy with a price

You know that I bought it (Oh yeah, you're right, I want 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 (Oh yeah, you're right, I want it)
We say that we'll just screw it up in these trying times

​​​​​​​We're not trying (Oh yeah, you're right, I want it)
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 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


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
