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 (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, 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 be 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
