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 sayin'
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've 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've gone
You're not the only one
It's a cruel ... cruel ... cruel summer
Leaving meeeeee ... leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel ... it's a cruel ... cruel summer
Now you've gone
