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 handIt's a cruel, cruel summer
(Cruel)
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, cruel summer
(It's a cruel)
Now you're gone
You're not the only one
It's a cruelThe 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, and goIt's a cruel, cruel summer
(Cruel)
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, cruel summer
(It's a cruel)
Now you're gone
You're not the only oneIt's a cruel, cruel summer
(Cruel)
(Leaving me)
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, cruel summer
(It's a cruel)
Now you're gone
You're not the only one
It's a cruelNow don't you leave me
Now don't you leave me
Now don't you leave me
Come on, come onNow don't you leave me
Now don't you leave me
Now don't you leave me
Come on, come onIt's a cruel, cruel summer
(Cruel)
(Cruel summer)
Leaving me here on my own
(Leaving me here all alone)
It's a cruel, cruel summer
(It's a cruel)
(Cruel summer)
(Leaving me in this summer)
You're not the only one
(You're not the only one)It's a cruel, cruel summer
(Cruel)
(Cruel summer)
(You're not the only one)
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, cruel summer
(It's a cruel)
(Cruel summer)
Now you're gone
You're not the only oneIt's a cruel, cruel summer
(Cruel)
(Cruel summer)
It's a cruel summer
It's a cruel, cruel summer
(Cruel summer)
It's a cruel summer
