Cruel Summer

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
