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 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

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



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'e not the only one



Now don't you leave me

Now don't you leave me

Well don't you leave me

Come on, come on



Now don't you leave me

Now don't you leave me

Well don't you leave me



Come on, come on

It's a creul, cruel summer (leaving me)

Leaving me here on my own



It's a cruel (it's a cruel) curel 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
