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 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 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 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), cruel summer (Leaving me) leaving me here on my own It's a cruel, (it's a cruel), cruel summer Now you're gone 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 always around You found yourself But now you're by yourself, waiting for me I'm your self I am the sun (leaving me)
This is the best song ever and I can't stop hearing it the 80s version was terrible. This one is more clean and smooth has a better voice and matches Cobra kai when johnny was all alone at the beach.
And a hard down vote for the punk kid who has no taste in music. Show some respect for those who actually wrote the song, performed it first, and made it famous. There wouldn't be this cover that you love without the masterpiece original that you so ignorantly trashed. If you were in the Karate Kid universe, you'd be a disciple of the loser Kreese, because you have no respect and that makes you a loser, punk.
