Hot in the streets and the pavements are burning, I sit around
Trying to smile but the air is so heavy and dry
Strange voices are calling
(What did they say?)
Things I can't understand
It's too close for comfort, this heat has got right out of hand (Ahhh)
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
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 (Ahhh)
It's a cruel (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!) 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 (Only one!)
(Ahhh, ahhh!)
(Whoa-oh-oh-ooh-whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-ooh-whoa-oh-oh)
(Whoa-oh-oh-ooh-whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-ooh-whoa-oh-oh)
(Whoa-oh-oh-ooh-whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-ooh-whoa-oh-oh)
(Whoa-oh-oh-ooh-whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-ooh-whoa-oh-oh)
It's a cruel (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!) 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
