Hot in the streets and the pavements are burning
I sit around
Trying to smile but the air is so heavy and dry
Strange voices are calling
(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 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
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 here on my own
It's a cruel (It's a cruel)
Cruel summer
Now you're gone
You're not the only one (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 (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
(Only one!)
