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 (What did they say)
Things I can`t understand
It`s too close for comfort, this heat has got right out of hand
It`s a cruel (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
(Repeat)
The city is crowded
My friends are away, and I`m on my own
It`s too hot to handle so I`ve gotta get up and go
It`s a cruel (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
(Repeat)
Cruel summer, it`s a cruel summer
Cruel summer, it`s a cruel summer
It`s a cruel (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
(Repeat)
Cruel summer, it`s a cruel summer
Cruel summer, it`s a cruel summer
It`s a cruel summer, it`s a cruel summer
It`s a cruel summer, it`s a cruel summer
Cruel summer, it`s a cruel summer
Cruel summer, it`s a cruel summer
Cruel summer, it`s a cruel summer
Cruel summer, it`s a cruel summer
