Verse 1:
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

Chorus 1:
Johnny-come-lately
The new kid in town
Everybody loves you
So don’t let them down

Verse 2:
You look in her eyes; the music begins to play
Hopeless romantics, here we go again
But after a while, you’re lookin’ the other way
It’s those restless hearts that never mend

Chorus 2:
Johnny-come-lately
The new kid in town
Will she still love you
When you’re not around?

Bridge:
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

Verse 3:
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

Chorus 3:
Where you’ve been lately?
There’s a new kid in town
Everybody loves him, don’t they?
He’s holding her, and you’re still around

Outro:
Oh, my, my
There’s a new kid in town
Just another new kid in town
(Ooh, hoo) Everybody’s talking ’bout the
(Ooh, hoo) New kid in town
(Ooh, hoo) Everybody’s walking like the
(Ooh, hoo) 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, ah ooh
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
There’s a new kid in town
