Cruel Summer

Hot summer streets
And the pavements are burning
I sit around

Trying to smile
But this 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 (it's a cruel), cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel (cruel), cruel summer
Now you're gone

The city is crowded
My friends are away
Now I'm on my own

It's too hot to handle
So I got to get up and go (go)
Go (go), go (go), go

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

It's a cruel (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

It's a cruel (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 (it's a cruel), cruel summer
You left me here on my own
It's a cruel (it's a cruel) cruel summer
Now you're gone
Now you're gone, now you're gone, now you're gone
(It's a cruel) Now you're gone, now you're gone, now you're gone
(It's a cruel) Now you're gone, now you're gone, now you're gone
(It's a cruel) Now you're gone, now you're gone, now you're gone
(It's a cruel) Now you're gone, now you're gone, now you're gone
