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

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 got to 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, mmm

Now don't you leave me

Now don't you leave me

Come on, come on

Now don't you leave me, mmm

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 all alone)

It's a cruel, (it's a cruel),

Cruel summer (Leave me here in this summer)

You're not the only one (You're not the only one)

It's a cruel, (cruel),

Cruel summer (Cruel summer) (You're not the only one)

Leaving me here on my own (Ooh-ooh)

It's a cruel, (it's a cruel), cruel summer (Cruel summer) (Ooh-ooh)

Now you're gone

You're not the only one (It's a cruel summer)

It's a cruel, (cruel), cruel summer (Cruel summer)

(It's a cruel summer)

It's a cruel, (cruel), cruel summer (Cruel summer)

(It's a cruel summer)
