Bananarama - Cruel Summer Lyrics






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 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,
It's a cruel cruel summer
Now you're gone
You're not the only one

It's a 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 summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Now you're gone
You're not the only one

It's a 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

  32. j.... ....

    YES 1984 was definitely one cruel fucked-up summer for me. It was right after my high school graduation in May. After putting up with daily multiple people bullying including my family for multiple years, I entered college that I hated and took all that negativity there. Huge mistake as it ruined my social life because I was hospitalized for severe depression and comtemplating suicide. I know you all could care less, but listening to almost any 1984 song really, really just makes me too unhappy. Even though it might be the nostalgic, and this is a great song. It does bring back memories of weekends at the mall.

  33. a.... m....

    La mia canzone preferita delle Bananarama un gruppo veramente straordinario..... 💗 💗 💗

  34. I.... B....

    I think PARAMORE sampled this best for Hard Times

    A.... S....

  37. C.... K....

    This was featured in a TV show. Long and forgotten now, but one of the promotional spots of this had this song playing. The show was just like AHS: 1984. A group of teens in a cabin. It had a different name, but I cannot remember what that name is

  38. C.... ....

    I hear this in another class next door and had to find this song
    Who else is in school listining

  39. M.... R....

    Funny, I was two years old when this song came out, I love it ;-)

  40. N.... S....

    AWWWWWW A PAYPHONE

  41. B.... L....

    This has me nostalgic for a time I never knew

  42. M.... G....

    Stop wanting to go back to 1984 somewhat. I'm here today watching this on my phone ity 2020 & I'm glad that I've the opportunity. Back in the days when I was 14 we didn't have no inet phone etc. Past is the past. Happy to be able to listen to any & every song from 1920 to 2020.
    Life goes on
    Cheers from Luton.

    Oh my gosh there is a Mandela´s effect! I remember that this song appears in the time of Ace of Base (Happy Nation 1993) and in the radio people said "Hey, this is a very similar sound with AOB, who steals from whom?)

  48. R.... M....
