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) 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
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
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, 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'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE
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, 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 (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
IT'S A CRUEL SUMMER
