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
Leavin' 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 (let him go)

It's a cruel, (cruel) cruel summer
Leavin' me here on my own
It's a cruel, (it's a cruel) cruel summer
Now you're gone
Your not the only one
It's a cruel, (cruel) cruel summer
(Leavin' me) leavin' me here on my own
It's a cruel, (it's a cruel) cruel summer
Now you're gone
Your not the only one

Cruel summer
its a cruel..
its a cruel..
its a cruel, cruel summer

It's a cruel, cruel summer
Now you're gone
Your not the only one

It's a cruel, (cruel) cruel summer
(Leavin' me) leavin' 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
(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
