It's a cruel, cruel summer
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Now you've gone
Leaving me here on my own
You're not the only one
Trying to smile
Now you've gone
My friends are away and I'm on my own
It's a cruel, cruel summer
But the air is so heavy and dry
The city is crowded
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, cruel summer
It's a cruel, cruel summer
What did they say
So I got to get up and go
It's too hot to handle
You're not the only one
Strange voices are saying
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
Now you've gone
It's too close for comfort
Now you've gone
Leaving me here on my own
This heat has got right out of hand
You're not the only one
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Things I can't understand
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Now you've gone
