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 sayin' (what did they say?)
Things I can't understand
It's too close for comfort
This heat has gone right out of hand
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
♪
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
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
