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 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
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, and go
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
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
Now don't you leave me
Now don't you leave me
Now don't you leave me
Come on, come on
Now don't you leave me
Now don't you leave me
Now don't you leave me
Come on, come on
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Cruel
Cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
Leaving me here all alone
It's a cruel, cruel summer
It's a cruel
Cruel summer
Leaving me in this summer
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Cruel
Cruel summer
You're not the only one
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, cruel summer
It's a cruel
Cruel summer
Now you're gone
You're not the only one
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Cruel
Cruel summer
It's a cruel summer
It's a cruel, cruel summer
