Hot summer streets and the pavements are burning
I sit around
Trying to smile but the air is so heavy and dry
strange voices are saying (ah what did they say)
Things I can't understand
It's too close to comfort this heat has got right out of hand
it's a cruel, cruel summer
leaving me, leaving me here on my own
it's a cruel, cruel summer
now you're gone
you're not the only one
it's a cruel, cruel summer
leaving me, leaving me here on my own
it's a cruel, cruel summer
now you're gone
you're not the only one
The city is crowded, my friends are away and I'm on my own
it's too hot to handle, so I gotta get up and go
it's a cruel, cruel summer
leaving me, leaving me here on my own
it's a cruel, cruel summer
now you're gone
you're not the only one
it's a cruel, cruel summer
leaving me, leaving me here on my own
it's a cruel, cruel summer
now you're gone
you're not the only one
cruel summer
it's a cruel summer
cruel summer
It's a cruel summer
it's a cruel, cruel summer
leaving me, leaving me here on my own
it's a cruel, cruel summer
now you're gone
you're not the only one
it's a cruel, cruel summer
leaving me, leaving me here on my own
it's a cruel, cruel summer
now you're gone
you're not the only one
cruel summer
it's a cruel summer
cruel summer
it's a cruel summer
