Cruel Summer Lyrics
Kari Kimmel
Lyrics
Hot summer streets and the pavements are burning
And I sit around
Trying to smile, but the air is so heavy and dry
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Now you're gone
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
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
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
