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 
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

Ooooh-hoooo, everybody's talking 
About the new kid in town
Ooooh-hoooo, 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
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
There's a new kid in town
There's a new kid in town
