Cruel Summer Lyrics

Hot summer streets 

And the pavements are burning 

I sit around 

Too hot to handle, baby

Trying to smile 

But the air is so heavy and dry

How could you leave me waiting

Strange voices are saying 

What did they say 

Things I can't understand 

It's too close for comfort 

This heat has got right out of hand 

(chorus x 2) 

It's a cruel, cruel summer 

Leaving me here on my own 

It's a cruel, cruel summer 

Now you've gone 

The city is crowded 

My friends are away 

And I'm on my own 

Too hot to handle, baby

It's too hot to handle 

So I got to get up and go 

(chorus) 

You're not the only one

(chorus) 

(bridge x 2)

In the city in the summertime

All I ever wanted was your love

Come on and make it shine

Can you open the heavens up above


(chorus) 

You're not the only one

(chorus)

(bridge x 2)
