Cruel Summer

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 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

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) 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

You're not the only one

It's a cruel

Now don't you leave me

Now don't you leave me

Now don't you leave me

Come on, come on

Now don't you leave me

Now don't you leave me

Now don't you leave me

Come on, come on

It's a cruel, (cruel) cruel summer (cruel summer)

Leaving me here on my own (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

You're not the only one

It's a cruel, (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
