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
 
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 (I don't want to hear it)
There's a (I don't want to hear it)
There's a
There's a
There's a (Everybody's talking)
There's a (People started walking)
There's a
There's a (Fade to end)
