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 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
