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 you 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
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
it's a cruel
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
it's a cruel, cruel summer
it's a cruel summer
it's a cruel, cruel summer
it's a cruel summer
