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
