Hot summer streets
And the pavements are burning
I sit around (sit around)
Trying to smile, but the air is so heavy and dry (heavy and dry)
Strange voices are saying, mm, what did they say?
Things I can't understand
It's too close for comfort
This heat has got right out of hand (right out of hand)
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 gone) you're not the only one
It's a cruel (it's a cruel)

The city is crowded
My friends are away
And I'm on my own (on my own)
It's too hot to handle
So I got to get up and go (I got to get up and go)
