Cruel summer,
hello, hello Blue in the night
People dream high in the daytime
Chasing the limelight You know I
had it,
I'm your fantasy fire Bad,
bad boys on the shoreline Feeding
desire What doesn't break me only
makes me turn stronger Under these
mirror balls,
I'm staying out longer Every rule
that I had,
I'm bending with you Sweat on
our skin and the sky turns
electric blue It's a cruel,
cruel summer On the disco floor
That's when I tell you there
are no rules anymore Breaking every
little line that I wrote in
my books Standing 'round in this
room, never caring who looks It's
a cruel,
cruel summer But I'm burning bright
Lose you in the rhythm while
I hold the light
Gold beaches,
flashbulbs, you were stealing the fame
Every camera on the boardwalk calling
your name Famous in the pages
of the soft summer blur Cruel
summer, I saw you getting close
to her
What doesn't break me only makes
me dance harder Each little heart
makes the pain seem darker You
crossed every single line that we
drew Now I'm rewriting every chapter
without you
It's a cruel,
cruel summer On the disco floor
That's when I tell you there
are no rules anymore Breaking every
little line that I wrote in
my books Standing 'round in this
room, never caring who looks It's
a cruel,
cruel summer But I'm burning bright
Lose you in the rhythm while
I hold the light Back home,
I was crying at the car
gate Now the city's in my
veins and it's not too late
Telling you where to go with
the lights turned off I'm fine
without you now
Getting bigger and
bolder Boy, go ahead,
cheat on me with your beachside
fling
I'll be in the club where
the night birds sing
Cruel summer, hello,
then a glittering goodbye I'm doing
fine on my own under velvet
skies
It's a cruel,
cruel summer On the disco floor
That's when I tell you there
are no rules anymore Breaking every
little line that I wrote in
my books Standing 'round in this
room, never caring who looks It's
a cruel,
cruel summer But I'm burning bright
Lose you in the rhythm while
I hold the light
Cruel summer, hello,
hello Blue in the night People
dream high in the daytime Chasing
the limelight You know I had
it, I'm your fantasy fire Bad,
bad boys on
the shoreline Feeding
desire
