Cruel Summer

Cover of Bananarama's Cruel Summer.

[Verse 1] Hot summer streets And the pavements are burning I sit around Trying to smile But the air is so heavy and dry [Verse 2] 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] 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... [Verse 3] The city is crowded My friends are away And I'm on my own It's too hot to handle So I got to get up and go [Chorus] 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 (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... [Bridge] Mmm, now don't you leave me Mmm, now don't you leave me Now don't you leave me, come on, come on Mmm, now don't you leave me Mmm, now don't you leave me Now don't you leave me, come on, come on [Chorus until Fade] It's a cruel (cruel), cruel summer (cruel summer) 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, it's a cruel... 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, it's a cruel...
