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

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
