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  cant  understand
its  too  close  for  comfort
this  heat  has  got  right  out  of  hand
Its  a  cruel,（cruel）cruel  summer
leaving  me  here  on  my  own
its  a  cruel,（its  a  cruel）cruel  summer
now  youre  gone
youre  not  the  only  one
its  a  cruel
The  city  is  crowded,my  friends  are  away,and  Im  on  my  own
its  too  hot  to  handle  so  I  gotta  get  up  and  go,and  go
Its  a  cruel,（cruel）cruel  summer
leaving  me  here  on  my  own
its  a  cruel,（its  a  cruel）cruel  summer
now  youre  gone
youre  not  the  only  one
Its  a  cruel,（cruel）cruel  summer
（leaving  me）leaving  me  here  on  my  own
its  a  cruel,（its  a  cruel）cruel  summer
now  youre  gone
youre  not  the  only  one
its  a  cruel
Now  dont  you  leave  me
now  dont  you  leave  me
now  dont  you  leave  me
come  on,come  on
