Remake of Bananarama's 1984 hit
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 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 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 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 summer (leaving me) 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
Now don't you leave me Now don't you leave me Well don't you leave me Come on, come on
Now don't you leave me Now don't you leave me Well don't you leave me Come on, come on
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
