"Cruel Summer" lyrics
(originally by Bananarama)
(Yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah)
Hot summer streets and the pavements are burning, I sit around
(Yeah, yeah)
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 too close for comfort, this heat has got right out of hand
It's a cruel, cruel summer
(Yeah, yeah)
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Now you're gone, gone, gone, gone
Flip that, holla back, flip that
Try and kick back, it's that
Let me just wait for the next show, wait wait
Yeah I know they can take that
The city is crowded, my friends are away and I'm on my own
(Yeah, yeah)
It's too hot to handle so I gotta get up and go
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, cruel summer
(Let me just wait for the next show, wait wait)
Now you're gone, gone, gone, gone
(Yeah I know they can take that)
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Now you're gone
It's a cruel, cruel summer
(Leaving me) 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
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Now you're gone, gone, gone, gone
Cruel summer
Now you're gone
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Now you're gone, gone, gone, gone
(Yeah, yeah)
Hot summer streets and the pavements are burning, I sit around
(Yeah, yeah)
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 too close for comfort, this heat has got right out of hand
It's a cruel, cruel summer
(Yeah, yeah)
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Now you're gone, gone, gone, gone
Flip that, holla back, flip that
Try and kick back, it's that
Let me just wait for the next show, wait wait
Yeah I know they can take that
The city is crowded, my friends are away and I'm on my own
(Yeah, yeah)
It's too hot to handle so I gotta get up and go
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, cruel summer
(Let me just wait for the next show, wait wait)
Now you're gone, gone, gone, gone
(Yeah I know they can take that)
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Now you're gone
It's a cruel, cruel summer
(Leaving me) 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
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Now you're gone, gone, gone, gone
Cruel summer
Now you're gone
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Now you're gone, gone, gone, gone
