*** Introduction ***

*** Verse 1 ***
Hot in the streets, and the pavements are burnin' I sit around
Trying to smile but the air is so heavy an' dry
Strange voices saying, dreams I can't understand
It's too close for comfort this heat it's got right out of hand

*** Chorus 1 ***
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Now that you've gone

*** Instrumental ***

*** Verse 2 ***
The city is crowded and my friends are away, I'm on my own
It's too hot to handle so I gotta get up an' go

*** Chorus 2 ***
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Now that you've gone
You're not the only one

*** Chorus 3 ***
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Now that you've gone

*** Instrumental ***

*** Vocal Bridge ***
Who can I find when I'm trapped
Here inside these four walls

*** Chorus 4 ***
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Now that you've gone
You're not the only one

*** Chorus 5 ***
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Now that you've gone
You're not the only one

*** Chorus 6 / Outro ***
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Now that you've gone
