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 SUMMER
 (CRUEL)
LEAVING ME HERE ON MY OWN
IT'S A CRUEL, CRUEL SUMMER
 (IT'S A CRUEL)
NOW YOU'RE GONE
YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE
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 GOTTA GET UP AND GO, AND GO
 
IT'S A CRUEL, CRUEL SUMMER
 (CRUEL)
LEAVING ME HERE ON MY OWN
IT'S A CRUEL, CRUEL SUMMER
 (IT'S A CRUEL)
NOW YOU'RE GONE
YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE
 
IT'S A CRUEL, CRUEL SUMMER
 (CRUEL)
(LEAVING ME)
LEAVING ME HERE ON MY OWN
IT'S A CRUEL, CRUEL SUMMER
 (IT'S A CRUEL)
NOW YOU'RE GONE
YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE
IT'S A CRUEL
 
NOW DON'T YOU LEAVE ME
NOW DON'T YOU LEAVE ME
NOW DON'T YOU LEAVE ME
COME ON, COME ON
 
NOW DON'T YOU LEAVE ME
NOW DON'T YOU LEAVE ME
NOW DON'T YOU LEAVE ME
COME ON, COME ON
 
IT'S A CRUEL, CRUEL SUMMER
 (CRUEL)
 (CRUEL SUMMER)
LEAVING ME HERE ON MY OWN
 (LEAVING ME HERE ALL ALONE)
IT'S A CRUEL, CRUEL SUMMER
 (IT'S A CRUEL)
 (CRUEL SUMMER)
(LEAVING ME IN THIS SUMMER)
YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE
 (YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE)
 
IT'S A CRUEL, CRUEL SUMMER
 (CRUEL)
 (CRUEL SUMMER)
(YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE)
LEAVING ME HERE ON MY OWN
IT'S A CRUEL, CRUEL SUMMER
 (IT'S A CRUEL)
 (CRUEL SUMMER)
NOW YOU'RE GONE
YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE
 
IT'S A CRUEL, CRUEL SUMMER
 (CRUEL)
 (CRUEL SUMMER)
IT'S A CRUEL SUMMER
IT'S A CRUEL, CRUEL SUMMER
 (CRUEL SUMMER)
IT'S A CRUEL SUMMER
