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 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
'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
Just another new kid in town.

(Oo-hoo)
Everybody's talking 'bout the new kid in town
(Oo-hoo)
People started walking like the new kid in town
There's a new kid in town; I dont want to hear it (2x)
There's a new kid in town (2x)
There's a new kid in town; everybody's talking
There's a new kid in town; people started walking
There's a new kid in town (2x).
