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
They say 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 here on my own
it's a cruel it's a cruel cruel summer
now you're gone
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 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 cruel summer
leaving me leaving me here on my own
it's a cruel it's a cruel cruel summer
now you're gone
it's a cruel cruel summer
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 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 leaving me here on my own
it's a cruel it's a cruel cruel summer
