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 to 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
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) 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
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) cruel summer (cruel summer)
Leaving me here on my own (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
You`re not the only one
It`s a cruel, (cruel) cruel summer
It`s a cruel, (it`s a cruel) cruel summer
It`s a cruel, cruel summer (leaving me)
It`s a cruel, (it`s a cruel) cruel summer
It`s a cruel summer
