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 somethin' new.

CHORUS:

Johnny come lately
The new kid in town
Everybody loves you

So don't let them down.

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
It doesn't really matter which side you're on
You're walkin' away and they're talkin' 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 holdin' her and you're still around


There's a new kid in town
just another new kid in town

Everybody's talkin' 'bout the new kid in town
Everybody's walkin' (Like the new kid in town)
There's a new kid in town (I don't wanna hear it).
