Cruel Summer Lyrics by Kids Incorporated

2004

[Verse 1]
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 (What did they say?)
Things I can't understand
It's too close for comfort, this heat has got right out of hand
[Chorus 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus 1]
It's a cruel
(Cruel), cruel summer
Leaving me herе on my own
It's a cruel (It's a cruel), cruel summеr
Now you're gone
You're not the only one
[Chorus 2]
It's a cruel
(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
[Instrumental break]
[Chorus 3]
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Now you're gone
You're not the only one
[Chorus 2]
It's a cruel
(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
[Outro]
It's a cruel
(Cruel), cruel summer
(Leaving me) Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel (It's a cruel), cruel summer
