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 saying

(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

(Leaving me) leaving me here on my own

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

Now you're gone

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

(Leaving me) leaving me here on my own

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

Now you're gone

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

(Leaving me) leaving me here on my own

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

Now you're gone

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

(Leaving me) leaving me here on my own

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

Now you're gone

You're always around

You found yourself

But now you're by yourself, waiting for me

I'm your self

I am the sun (leaving me)
