Strange voices are saying (ah what did they say?)
Things I can't understand
It's too close to comfort this heat has got
Right out of hand
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
[Próxima Parte]
It's a cruel
The city is crowded my friends are away and I'm on my own
It's too hot to handle so I gotta get up and go and go
It's a cruel (cruel) cruel summer

Now don't you leave me
Now don't you leave me
Now don't you leave me
Come on come on

Leaving me here on my own (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
