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 for comfort this heat has got Right out of hand
It's a cruel, (cruel) cruel summer Leaving me here on my own It's a cruel, (it's a cruel) cruel summer Now you're gone You're not the only one It's a cruel
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, (it's a cruel) cruel summer Now you're gone You'e not the only one
Now don't you leave me Now don't you leave me Well don't you leave me Come on, come on
Now don't you leave me Now don't you leave me Well don't you leave me
Come on, come on It's a creul, cruel summer (leaving me) Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel (it's a cruel) curel 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 (it's a cruel) cruel summer Now you're gone You're not the only one
It's a cruel, cruel summer It's a cruel, (it's a cruel) cruel summer
It's a cruel, cruel summer (leaving me) It's a cruel, (it's a cruel) cruel summer
