And the pavements are burning

Hot summer streets

I sit around

Trying to smile but

The 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

Cruel

Cruel summer

Leaving me here on my own

It's a cruel

It's a cruel

Cruel summer

Now you're gone

Gonna feel only it was

It's a cruel

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

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

Cruel

Cruel summer

Leaving me here on my own

It's a cruel

It's a cruel

Cruel summer

Now you're gone

Gonna feel only it was

It's a cruel x4

It's a cruel cruel summer

Leaving me here on my own

It's a cruel cruel summer

Now you're gone

Gonna feel only it was

It's a cruel
