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
