Hot summer streets and the pavements are burning, I sit aroundTrying to smile but the air is so heavy and dryStrange voices are sayingThings I can't understandIt's too close for comfort, this heat has got right out of handIt's a cruel, cruel summerLeaving me here on my ownIt's a cruel, cruel summerNow you're gone, you're not the only oneThe city is crowded, my friends are away and I'm on my ownIt's too hard to handle so I gotta get up and goIt's a cruel, cruel summerLeaving me here on my ownIt's a cruel, cruel summerNow you're goneYou're not the only oneIt's a cruel, cruel summerLeaving me here on my ownIt's a cruel, cruel summerNow you're goneYou're not the only oneIt's a cruelYou're not the only one
