● 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 (ah, what did they say?)
Things I can’t understand
It’s too cold to comfort this heat has got
Right out of hand
It’s a cruel, (cruel) cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It’s a cruel, (cruel) cruel summer
Now you’re gone
You’re not the only one
It’s a cruel
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
It’s a cruel, (cruel) cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It’s a cruel, (cruel) cruel summer
Now you’re gone
You’re not the only one
It’s a cruel, (cruel) cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It’s a cruel, (cruel) cruel summer
Now you’re gone
You’re not the only one
Now don’t you leave me
Now don’t you leave me
Now don’t you leave me
Come on, come on
Now don’t you leave me
Now don’t you leave me
Well don’t you leave me
Come on, come on
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
It’s a cruel, (cruel) cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It’s a cruel, (cruel) cruel summer
Now you’re gone
You’re not the only one
It’s a cruel, cruel summer
It’s a cruel, (it’s a cruel) cruel summer
It’s a cruel , cruel summer (leaving me)
It’s a cruel, (it’s a cruel) cruel summer
It’s a cruel summer

This is a cover. So technically it's the 80s that made this as cool song. They just redid it. Aka a cover of the original.

Every Summer i sing this song. Originally sung Bananarama back in retro 80's. But Ace Of Base has sung it even better 90's style.

[@quiquels00]

One of my most favorite song. Performed by one of my most favorite group! Ace of Base terrific voices!

[@adrianaanoai7698]

One of THE catchiest songs of the 90s, should have been a bigger single and a bigger album. Peace to The Base!

[@Marc-zi5cq]

It was pretty big, top ten in the US and the Euro version was #8 in the UK

[@raeraebadfingers]

Not gonna lie, still my favorite AOB album to date

Funny because the original was one of the catchiest songs of the 80s.

Cruel Summer
Hot summer streets and the pavements are burning
