Cruel summer

It´s a cruel summer...

a cruel 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

(ah what did they say?)

Things I can´t understand

It´s too close for comfort

this heat has got

Right out of hand

Chorus:

It´s a cruel (cruel) cruel summer

Leaving me here on my own

It´s a cruel (it´s a cruel) cruel summer

Now you´re gone

You´re not the only one

It´s a cruel (cruel) cruel summer

Leaving me here on my own

It´s a cruel (it´s a cruel) cruel summer

Now you´re gone

You´re not the only one

Now you´re gone

You´re not the only one

It´s a cruel...

Now you´re gone

You´re not the only one

It´s a cruel...

cruel summer...

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

(ah what did they say?)

Things I can´t understand

It´s too close for comfort

this heat has got

Right out of hand

Chorus:

It´s a cruel (cruel) cruel summer

Leaving me here on my own

It´s a cruel (it´s a cruel) cruel summer

Now you´re gone

You´re not the only one

It´s a cruel (cruel) cruel summer

Leaving me here on my own

It´s a cruel (it´s a cruel) cruel summer

Now you´re gone

You´re not the only one

It´s a cruel...

only one

It´s a cruel...

only one

It´s a cruel...

Now you´re gone

You´re not the only one

It´s a cruel...

Now you´re gone

You´re not the only one

It´s a cruel...

cruel summer... It´s a cruel summer... a cruel cruel summer...

Hot summer streets and the pavements are burning I sit around
