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
