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