Lyrics:

HOT SUMMER STREETS
AND THE PAVEMENTS ARE BURNING
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



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

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, (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



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, (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

GONNA FEEL ONLY IT WAS

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...
