Verse 1

There's talk on the street, it sounds so familiar;   
Great expectations, ev'rybody's watchin' 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.
Ev'rybody 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. oohh ohh

Chorus

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 shoul - der.

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 walkin' away and they're talkin' behind you,  
they will never forget you 'til somebody new comes along. 

Chorus

Where've you been lately?
There's a new kid in town.
Ev'rybody loves him (don't they?)
And he's holdin' her and you're still
a roou ou ou ound oh my my

Outro

There's a new kid in towww, oww oww oww
just another new kid in tow oww oww oww 
(Oo-hoo) Ev'rybody's talkin' 'bout the new kid in town.
(Oo-hooh) Ev'rybody's walkin' like the new kid in town.

Outro

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, (I don't want to hear it)
There's a new kid in town, (I don't want to hear it)
