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, 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
