Cruel Summer

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 don'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
I'm not the only one
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
I'm not the only one
