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
they're talking behind you
They will never forget you
till somebody new comes along
Where you've 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, everybody's walking like the new kid in town
