It's a cruel, cruel summer What did they say? Cruel summer You're not the only one Cruel summer Cruel summer Huts on the 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 difficult but this heat has got right out of hand It's a cruel, cruel summer Leaving me here on my own It's a cruel, cruel summer Now you're gone You're not the only one It's a cruel, cruel summer Leaving me here on my own It's a cruel, cruel summer Now you're gone You're not the only one It's a cruel Huts on the streets Streets, streets, streets Strange voices are saying What did they say? Things I can't understand It's difficult but this heat has got right out of hand It's a cruel, cruel summer Leaving me here on my own It's a cruel, cruel summer What did they say? It's a cruel, cruel summer Leaving me here on my own It's a cruel, cruel summer Now you're gone You're not the only one It's a cruel, cruel summer Leaving me here on my own It's a cruel, cruel summer Now you're gone You're not the only one It's a cruel What did they say? It's a cruel It's a cruel Baby, tonight
