There's talk on the street, it sounds so familiar

Great expectations, everybody's watching you

People you meet they all seem to know you

Even your old friends treat

Like you're something new

Johnny come lately, the new kid in town

Everybody loves you, so don't let them down

You look in her eyes, the music begins to play

Hopeless romantics, here we go again

But after a while you're looking the other way

It's those restless hearts that never mend

Johnny come lately, the new kid in town

Will she still love you when you're not around?

There's so many things you should have told her

But night after night you're willing to hold her

Just hold her tears on your shoulder

There's talk on the street, it's there to remind you

That it doesn't really matter which side you're on

You're walking away and they're talking behind you

They will never forget you till somebody

New comes along

Where you been lately?

There's a new kid in town

Everybody loves him, don't they?

Now he's holding her

And you're still around, oh my my

There's a new kid in town

Just another new kid in town

Oo hoo, everybody's talking 'bout the new kid in town

Oo hoo, everybody's walking like the new kid in town

There's a new kid in town

I don't want to hear it

There's a new kid in town

I don't want to hear it
