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 (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
The city is crowded, my friends are away and I'm on my own
It's too hot to handle so I got to 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) leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel (it's a cruel), cruel summer
Now you're gone
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
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
(Leaving me) leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel (it's a cruel), cruel summer
