Hot summer streets and the pavements are burningI sit aroundTrying to smile but the air is so heavy and dryStrange voices are sayin' (what did they say?)Things I can't understandIt's too close for comfort, this heat has got right out of hand
It's a cruel, (cruel) cruel summerLeavin' me here on my ownIt's a cruel, (it's a cruel) cruel summerNow you're gone
The city is crowded, my friends are awayAnd I'm on my ownIt's too hot to handle, so I got to get up and go
It's a cruel, (cruel) cruel summerLeavin' me here on my ownIt's a cruel, (it's a cruel) cruel summerNow you're goneGonna feel only it was
It's a cruel, (cruel) cruel summer(Leavin' me) leavin' me here on my ownIt's a cruel, (it's a cruel) cruel summerNow you're gone
It's a cruel, cruel summerLeaving me here on my ownIt's a cruel, cruel summerNow you're goneYou're not the only one
It's a cruel, (cruel) cruel summer(Leavin' me) leavin' me here on my ownIt's a cruel, (it's a cruel) cruel summerNow you're goneYou're not the only one
It's a cruel, (cruel) cruel summer(Leavin' me) leavin' me here on my ownIt's a cruel, (it's a cruel) cruel summerNow you're goneYou're not the only one
It's a cruel...
