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

Johnny come lately
The new kid in town
Ev´rybody 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 lookin´ 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
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´ve you been lately?
There´s a new kid in town
Ev´rybody 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.
Ev´rybody´s talkin´ ´bout the new kid in town (x2)

There´s a new kid in town (I don´t want to hear it) (x2 )
