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 treay you 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 awhile you're lookin' 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 'til 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

Ooh, hoo

Everybody's talking 'bout the new kid in town

Ooh, hoo

Everybody's walking' like the new kid in town

There's a 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

There's a new kid in town

There's a new kid in town

There's a new kid in town
