Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Fever dream high in the grocery aisle,
Pushing carts with a crazy smile,
Ice cream melting in my hands, oh wow,
Summer heat and I’m in a checkout line now.
(Pre-Chorus)
It's a cruel, cruel summer,
Leaving me here, waiting in line,
It's a cruel, cruel summer,
Now I'm stuck with the melting ice cream, oh my.
(Chorus)
It's a cruel summer, with these tan lines,
Sweating buckets while I'm chasing sales signs,
Eating popsicles, brain freeze hits hard,
Cruel summer, and I just dropped my grocery cart.
(Verse 2)
Running late, sunscreen on my face,
Flip-flops slapping, I’m losing the race,
Got a sunburn, looking like a lobster, you see,
Why does this always happen to me?
(Pre-Chorus)
It's a cruel, cruel summer,
Mosquitoes biting, everywhere I go,
It's a cruel, cruel summer,
Lost my wallet at the beach, oh no.
(Chorus)
It's a cruel summer, with these tan lines,
Sweating buckets while I'm chasing sales signs,
Eating popsicles, brain freeze hits hard,
Cruel summer, and I just dropped my grocery cart.
(Bridge)
Barbecue smoke, burning my eyes,
Neighbors playing loud music, oh what a surprise,
Kids running wild, screaming in the yard,
And I just stepped on a Lego, man this is hard.
(Chorus)
It's a cruel summer, with these tan lines,
Sweating buckets while I'm chasing sales signs,
Eating popsicles, brain freeze hits hard,
Cruel summer, and I just dropped my grocery cart.
(Outro)
So here's to summer, the cruel and the fun,
Even with all the chaos, we laugh when it's done,
Embrace the madness, the sunburn, the sweat,
It's a cruel, cruel summer, one we won't forget.
