CRUEL SUMMEER

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

Chorus:

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

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

Chorus 2x:

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' you leave me, come on, come on

It's a cruel, (cruel) cruel summer (cruel summer)

leaving me here on my own (leaving me here all alone)

It's a cruel (it's a cruel) cruel summer (cruel summer)

(don't leave me, leave me in this summer)

you're not the only one (you're not the only one)

It's a cruel, (cruel) cruel summer (cruel summer)

(you're not the only one at home)

Leaving me here on my own

It's a cruel, (it's a cruel) cruel summer (cruel summer)

Now you're gone

You're not the only one (it's a cruel summer)

cruel summer (cruel summer)

It's a cruel summer (it's a cruel)

cruel summer (cruel summer)

It's a cruel summer
