Hot summer streets And the pavements are burning I sit around Trying to smile But the air is too heavy and dry Strange voices are saying What did they say Things I don't understand It's too close for comfort This heat has got right out of hand It's a 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 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 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 Now you're gone
