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 summer
Leaving me here on my own
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
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel
It's a cruel cruel summer
Now you're gone.

It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Now you're gone
You're not the only one.

It's a 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.
