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
Oh
Johnny come lately
The new kid in town
Will she still love you?
(a-a-h...) 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
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?
(a-a-h...) And 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...
(ooh hoo)
Everybody's talking 'bout
The new kid in town
(ooh hoo)
(ooh hoo) Everybody's walking like
The new kid in town
(ooh hoo)
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
Everybody's talking
There's a new kid in town
People started walking
There's a new kid in town
H-m-m-m h-m-m
There's a new kid in town
H-m-m-m h-m-m
There's a new kid in town
There's a new kid
