Cruel Summer

1. Hot summer street
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.

[Chorus1:]
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.

2. 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.

[Chorus2:]
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.

Gonna feel only it was.

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.

[Bridge:]
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Now you're gone.

Gonna feel only it was.

[Chorus2]
