Hot summer streets and the flames are burning, I sit around
Trying to smile but the air is so heavy and dry
Strange voices are saying,
ah, 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,
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,
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 hard to handle so I gotta get up and go
It's a cruel,
cruel summer Leaving me,
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,
cruel summer
Now you're gone You're not the only one
It's a cruel summer,
it's a cruel summer,
cruel summer,
it's a cruel summer It's a cruel,
cruel summer,
leaving me,
leaving me here on my own
Cool summer,
now you're gone You're not the only one
It's a cool,
cool summer Leaving me,
leaving me here on my own It's a cool,
cool summer Now you're gone
You're not the only one Cool summer,
it's a cool summer
It's a cruel summer,
cruel summer,
it's a cruel summer,
it's a cruel summer,
it's a It's a cool summer.
It's a cool summer.
It's a cool summer,
cool summer
