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've 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 cruel summer
now you've gone
you're not the only one
it's a cruel cruel summer
leaving me here on my own
it's a cruel cruel summer
now you've gone
it's a cruel cruel summer
leaving me here on my own
it's a cruel cruel summer
now you've gone
you're not the only one
it's a cruel cruel summer
leaving me here on my own
it's a cruel cruel summer
now you've gone
you're not the only one
it's a cruel cruel summer
leaving me here on my own
it's a cruel cruel summer
