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

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

Ah what did you say

Things I can't understand

It's too close to 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

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're gone

You're not the only one

It's a cruel
