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
