Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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 things I can't understand (What did they say?)
It's too close for comfort, this heat has got right out of hand
[Chorus]
It's a cruel, cruel summer (Cruel)
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, cruel summer (It's a cruel)
Now you're gone
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
It's a cruel, cruel summer (Cruel)
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, cruel summer (It's a cruel)
Now you're gone, you're not the only one
It's a cruel, cruel summer (Cruel)
Leaving me here on my own (Leaving me)
It's a cruel, cruel summer (It's a cruel)
Now you're gone
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
It's a cruel, cruel summer (Cruel)
Leaving me here on my own (Leaving me)
It's a cruel, cruel summer (It's a cruel)
Now you're gone, you're not the only one
[Chorus]
It's a cruel, cruel summer (Cruel)
Leaving me here on my own (Leaving me)
It's a cruel, cruel summer (It's a cruel)
Now you're gone, you're not the only one
