Cruel Summer

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 sayin'
(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
Leavin' me here on my own
It's a cruel, (it's a cruel) cruel summer
Now you're gone
(X2)
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
Leavin' me here on my own
It's a cruel, (it's a cruel) cruel summer
Now you're gone
(X2)
