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 sayin' (what did they say?)
Things I can't understand
It's too close for comfort, this heat's gotten right out of hand
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leavin' 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
The city is crowded, my friends are away
And I'm on my own
It's too hot to handle, so I got to get up and go
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leavin' 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 (it's a cruel)
Cruel summer (it's a cruel)
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
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leavin' 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
