Cruel Summer

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 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 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), 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), 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), leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, (it's a cruel), cruel summer
Now you're gone

boys of summer

A flash in the pan, a fad or trend that will go away as if it never existed. Men and women can be "boys of summer" but as it's possible for them to change their ways, it's possible for them to leave this state. More often, "Boys of Summer" is a state of mind or a concept that gets a lot of attention, is appealing, makes a lot of noise, and then leaves without leaving any noticeable mark.
In Don Henley's song, when the boys of summer have gone, all that glamor and noise will be gone, but the things that matter will still remain. In the song's context, his devotion to his beloved is a true, deep and meaningful passion that will outlast anything petty, trivial or impulsive.
Rob: Why do hang out with those nerdy girls more than the other popular girls?
Jessica: The popular girls are nice but they just want to party, these nerds are studying and forming connections. Their successes will last long after the boys of summer have gone.

Music critic: Punk rock, new wave, disco, bro-country, EDM, and glam metal all came and went, but the blues are still around. BB King and Muddy Waters will be inspiring generations long after the boys of summer have gone.
