Mm-m-m-m-m-m-m-m,
Ah-h-h-h-h-h-h-h,
Mm-m-m-m-m-m-m-m,
Ah-h-h-h-h-h-h-h,
Hot summer street
And the pavements
Are burning,
I sit around
Trying to smile, but,
The air is so heavy
And dry
Strange voices
Are saying things
I can't understand
It's too close
For comfort,
This heat has gone
Right out of hand
It's a cruel,
Cruel summer,
Leaving me here
On my own
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...
It's a cruel,
Cruel summer,
Leaving me here
On my own
It's a cruel,
Cruel summer,
Now you're gone
You're not
The only one,
It's a cruel,
Cruel summer,
Leaving me here
On my own
It's a cruel,
Cruel summer,
Now you're gone
You're not
The only one,
It's a cruel...
Mm-m-m-m-m-m-m-m,
Now, don't you
Leave me, hm...
Now, don't you
Leave me,
Now, don't you
Leave me,
Come on, come on
Now, don't you
Leave me, hm...
Now, don't you
Leave me,
Now, don't you
Leave me,
Come on, come on
It's a cruel,
Cruel summer,
Leaving me here
On my own,
It's a cruel,
Cruel summer,
You're not
The only one,
It's a cruel,
Cruel summer,
Leaving me here
On my own,
It's a cruel,
Cruel summer,
Now you're gone
You're not
The only one,
It's a cruel,
Cruel summer,
It's a cruel summer,
It's a cruel summer,
It's a cruel summer...
