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 [bad word]  this heat has got right out of hand

[x2]
It's a [bad word]  [bad word] , [bad word] summer
(Leaving me)
Leaving me here on my own
It's a [bad word] (It's a [bad word] , [bad word] summer
Now you're gone
You're not the only one

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

[x2]
It's a [bad word]  [bad word] , [bad word] summer
(Leaving me)
Leaving me here on my own
It's a [bad word] (It's a [bad word] , [bad word] summer
Now you're gone
You're not the only one

[x2]
 [bad word] summer, it's a [bad word] summer)

[x2]
It's a [bad word]  [bad word] , [bad word] summer
(Leaving me)
Leaving me here on my own
It's a [bad word] (It's a [bad word] , [bad word] summer
Now you're gone
You're not the only one

[x6]
 [bad word] summer, it's a [bad word] summer)
